Education Through Adventure Educator Training courses are a result of
expressed need from educators across the country. The trainings represent a
proven methodology developed in the field over a period of over 15 years.
Based on our experience and training evaluations, we have honed the training
design and implementation model to best serve schools, camps, youth
organizations and juvenile justice settings.

In recent years, Education Through Adventure has been advancing
a training model that includes awareness sessions and a one day
training. This approach has proven most effective in providing a
strong foundation for the classroom.

The awareness sessions – 45 minutes, 90 minutes, or 3 hours –
allows participants to learn about the rationale for the topic,
participate in educational strategies and leave the training with
tools to go back to the classroom.

The one day training model – 3 ½ hours – 8 hours, builds on the awareness
session or can stand alone. These trainings seek to provide a comprehensive
framework for success. Attention is given to the curriculum’s substance and
methodologies, and proven solution to positive classroom management.

The fist step in ensuring an active learning
environment. Classroom Community building
establishes a safe classroom community and
encourages everyone to discover, connect, and share
their own resources within the academic environment.
Various techniques are used through experiential
education to develop a sense of community. The goal
is to educate participants on the importance of
community through strong communication and active
participation, which will help participants to establish
a foundation for the classroom.

Throughout the course, participants are involved with
a series of challenging problem–solving exercises,
which are interactive. There are various approaches
that can be used to solve the tasks, but differences of
opinion arise and some level of frustration takes
place. These experiences provide concrete situations
where conflict arises. This module examines the
strategies used when confronting conflict in the
educational environment. Participants will leave the
workshop with concrete solutions on what to do when
confronted with conflict in the classroom.

The activities in this module discover the advantages of
diversity and require participants to explore the
philosophy and application of diversity within cultures.
Participants learn to become more aware of diversity
within their workplace, and how it affects business,
relationships, and communication between individuals.
The course is designed to facilitate the process of
learning to respect human commonalities and
differences.

In this module we will be training educators to create a
climate for student success and school safety. We will

This module provides a basic understanding of
experiential education, how it is different from other
methods of teaching, and why it can be such an effective
tool in education. This module ensures that “no student
is left behind”.

In this module we teach classroom management skills
and discipline techniques that are conducive to the
academic learning environment.
