Anyone who has worked with people knows that what excites one person does not necessarily excite another. The visual learner likes to learn through seeing video, chart, picture, model. The kinesthetic learner likes to learn through using his or her body dance, drama, movement, hiking. The tactile learner likes to learn through touching hands-on activities. Not A Sage On The Stage.
People learn better when being guided to discover and think for themselves.
Learning through lectures from the expert is seldom interesting and easily forgotten. Allow individuals to discover and think for themselves, rather than providing them with all the answers. You will have some foundational knowledge because you have read the Background Information. Allow yourself to learn along with your group as you experience each activity. You do not have to be a Leave No Trace expert.
