The outdoor classroom : integrating learning and adventure
James R. Jelmberg (Editor), Greg S. Goodman (Editor)
"This book is designed to be an inspirational instructional guide for teachers and other educational professionals working with students in grades 4 through college. It is also written as a text for instructors teaching courses in experiential education, outdoor education, recreation and curriculum methods." "As a textbook, it is unique within the field of experiential education because it breaks new ground by linking critical pedagogy with adventure learning. In Part I the authors articulate the role of critical pedagogy within experiential education and the values of multicultural education. In Part II the chapters focus on the praxis of experiential education. These chapters provide clear, "how-to" instructions for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating outdoor education as a methodology for improving student achievement. In Part III contributors to the field of experiential learning give their thoughts as to why they became connected to this area and the rewards they have received."--Jacket
