Experiential Education Training
Duration: 2 days
Program Overview:
The JUMP! Experiential Educator Training, will provide educators with the appropriate skills and tools to act as facilitators of growth and development. The program centers on unpacking the experiential learning process, identifying needs of individuals and students in the field, and using the outdoors to facilitate powerful learning experiences.
Educators will reflect on how the language they use, the questions they present, and the group management tools they employ shape positive learning experiences and mindsets for their students. JUMP! facilitators will provide a set of methods and models for educators to experiment with as each participant explores their personal facilitation style. Educators will be challenged to discover new approaches and methods towards creating meaningful learning experiences. We will challenge educators to leave the program with an awareness of how these ideas contribute to their teaching style and how to put their style and skills into action in the classroom, their personal lives, their local community and beyond.
Using tools such as design thinking, systems mapping and experiential learning, teachers will become better equipped to deliver transformative experiences for students off-campus on the Experiential Learning Programs, and have tools to embed this learning into the classroom.
Key Objectives:
- To build a community of support between educators through personal reflection, how to create meaningful connections, and promoting a culture of “feed forward”
- To inspire educators with activities and methods for experiential learning that increase agency in their roles as educators
