A backcountry adventure is filled with opportunities to learn, to learn about learning, and to teach. Join other teachers, social workers, administrators and counselors in the largest classroom on Earth, the great outdoors. These courses focus on relating outdoor challenges and group dynamics to contemporary educational issues, such as:
Creating a curriculum that realistically addresses the students' world
Employing different teaching and learning styles
Addressing limits that students and teachers place upon themselves
Educator courses will challenge and engage you on a profound personal level, giving you permission to carve out valuable time to explore what's at your core as a human. Bring these skills and experiences home and apply them in the classroom. You'll enrich your life and the other lives you touch daily. At Outward Bound, it's those who can who teach.
Join fellow educators on the scenic waters of Ross Lake for an Outward Bound expedition that will renew your spirit and refresh your teaching and communication style. Hurry, scholarships are available on a first-come first-serve basis!
