Outdoor Education |
PAD2O. |
Educational
research has clearly identified “frequent contact with natural
habitats” as the single most significant experience for students in
becoming informed and active on behalf of the environment. The vital
link between simply possessing knowledge about the environment to that
of demonstrating environmentally responsible behaviour requires
conviction, and that, research has shown, results primarily from direct
learning experiences in the outdoors.
Within our school system, there
exists a greater need than ever before to balance many of the
worthwhile “technological initiatives” with “ecologically-based
opportunities”. Students need both “high tech” and “high touch”
learning to be considered literate for the world of today and tomorrow.
Course Description:
Want to be part of a real “learning adventure”?
This
co-ed, group-oriented, interdisciplinary program takes place primarily
within “the outdoor classroom” (around JMSS, “The Greenbelt”, The Bill
Mason Centre, local rivers/lakes, Frontenac, and Algonquin Park and the
Adirondacks) as well as within the conventional classroom and challenges
students to learn by doing.
Guided by Outdoor Education’s “3 R’s” (Respect, Relatedness and
Responsibility) the course integrates 3 themes.
Outdoor
Skills, in which students will demonstrate the basic knowledge, skills
and attitudes necessary for safe, comfortable outdoor experiences in
all seasons.
Personal & Group Development are the “Team Building”
skills of Adventure Education which will encourage students to
demonstrate understanding, respect and appreciation for self and others.
Ecological
Understandings encourage students to demonstrate an awareness and
appreciation of all living things and an understanding of the basic
ecological processes which are necessary to sustain all life on this
planet. |
