This page is meant to provide an overview of resources and networks that I use for educational purposes relating to teaching, instruction, and coaching. The resources are from a wider variety of sources, and I have also included sections to provide exemplars of session plans and projects of mine.
Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice
A community of practice is invaluable for those who work in the larger field of education. When I mention "larger field," I am referencing anyone that works to train and develop others. That can be a coach of a basketball team, a swimming instructor, or a work-place trainer. These roles have the tendency to become isolating because the contact with others in similar positions is limited, and in some circumstances there may be a level of competition for work and clients. Despite the difficulties, the potential gain from being apart of a community of practice are well worth it.
On the maps presented below, I have laid out a variety of networks that I have access to. Some of them have developed into a community of practice.
Professional Learning Communities
Professional Learning Communities
Throughout my studies and work experience, I have been a member of a variety of communities. Within some of the communities I am an active member, while others I maintain basic connections. These communities serve as a resource for professional development, continuity, and sources of inspiration. It is not possible for me to map out all of the communities that I am involved with, so I am displaying those that are significant in much of my work.
Additional Resources
Additional Resources
Below are resources that I have compiled from work in Outdoor Adventure Education (OAE) and Adventure Sports. Several of these resources I have created, but most of the ideas I owe to countless colleagues, friends, and trainers that shared their thoughts and ideas with me.
