Our Story
Outdoor education
My responsibilities
As a educator who strives to achieve a high standard of professionalism, I take it upon myself to lay out a few responsibilities in which I strive to uphold in my teaching:
- Adapt to different learning styles.
- Stay current in strategies and technologies arising in the field of education.
- To have a reflective learning process of my own experiences while teaching in order to learn the most from each experience.
- My job is to make sure the experience is a safe and inclusive place in which students can learn to grow outside of their comfort zone.
