For this assignment I have decided to explore the theories of Laevers on well being, Gardner and Scott Peck on recognising learners as individuals and building a community. I have chosen these learning theories because I really feel that with the needs created by Covid 19 the role that Forest Schools play in child well-being and mental health will be of upmost importance and Gardner and Pecks work also supports this.
