This is a workshop we’ve been offering our instructors for a few years that we want to make available to other river educators. In this course we’ll have a focus on teaching whitewater using Kolb’s Cycle of Experiential Learning.
What to Expect
Participants will be expected to give two presentations and will receive feedback from their peers. Here is a general outline about what to expect.
- You’ll receive our curriculum and content for lessons plans after you register
- Two topics will be assigned to you
- We’ll begin the workshop with a discussion about experiential learning
- Each participant will deliver lessons based on their lesson plan
- Peers will provide anonymous feedback on each lesson
Why Participate in This Workshop?
The main reason to participate is to practice you teaching skills and receive feedback from other educators. Other benefits are:
- Network with other river educators
- Observe other teachers to pick up tips and tricks for teaching
- Participate in discussions about current best practices
