Hi. I’m a teacher getting my license in ESL through the U of M, soon to graduate. I have become very interested in the adventure learning paradigm, including creating adventure learning content based on the model pioneered by Earthducation and GoNorth. I would very much like to see how this is actually implemented in the classroom. If it all possible, please contact me with any means by which I could get in contact with teachers implementing adventure learning curriculum. I am willing to do something in exchange, for example promoting Earthducation in some capacity.
I am also interested in doing an internship or even volunteer work with Earthducation in order to “learn the ropes” as it were, if any such opportunity is available.
Thank you very much.
Hi Brandon,
Thanks for the comments. Please feel free to send me an email at adoering@umn.edu and we can catch up on the many opportunities with adventure learning.
