And absolutely no one made a living educating those outdoor educators. That's why NOLS was a truly innovative idea in those days. Since 1965, the value of wilderness as a reality-based classroom has become widely accepted, and outdoor education is a recognized field. Now you can choose from a variety of courses for educators. Courses for educators focus on the NOLS core curriculum and on teaching.
Students plan and present many of the classes.
There are opportunities to discuss teaching techniques and get feedback on your teaching style. You'll look at the entire process of a course, from the progression of skills taught to students, to when and how to provide additional knowledge. These courses are designed both for people who are already educators and want to expand upon existing knowledge, or for aspiring educators who want to learn more about the field. All rights reserved.
