A3- they tend to engage all of our senses and in environments/ scenarios often new to students. Thus students can develop new comfort, confidence, capacity and agency in spaces that can become infinitely giving, non judgemental, educational sources of inspiration and wellbeing

Echat# 2: peaks and valleys of oe

Q3: In your opinion, what makes peak experiences in the outdoors so salient and important?

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@JoelJGoswell @asforan This is such an important past time!

@GregoryRea29604 @asforan Often the best way to reach kids the value of organization.hard lesson to learn: hopefully one you learn the first time

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@BryanMa96672759 @asforan Is this the same as hogsweed?

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@martincorb793 @asforan For sure peak scary

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@carroll_mme @asforan I think so often with those kinds of moments, the peak of the peak experience can be just remembering how amazing our own bodies and innate survival skills are. It helps us to develop trust in ourselves and our preparation ( having covered the what if scenarios in our heads)

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@GregoryRea29604 @asforan Well if that’s not serendipity I don’t know what is! That is very cool. Often times those organic, unstructured moments are the most powerful.

A2- evac of participant from canoe trip locally was an amazing learning experience for myself, my team, for emergency services and for the organization I was working for of how to communicate trip float plans, and how to prevent and manage risk, and work with local authorities.

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@BryanMa96672759 @HartlinTommy @asforan I totally agree with this and the need to make and take time to intentionally debrief and celebrate these moments to help learners and teachers identify them and continue to make space for and acknowledge these moments.

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@HartlinTommy @asforan An “ahah” moment, where something clicks, a moment of revelation, accomplishment, joy and self-actualization. These moments are often subjective, individual and an be unpredictable and organic. They do not always occur as a result of planning for them.

Excellent documentary related to accessibility and visibility in the pro climbing community. Great and inspirational documentary. Very impressive.

@BryanMa96672759 @asforan Push for more outdoor Ed opportunities in public education to remove the financial barriers and prerequisite experience required to access so many of these otherwise gatekeeper activities

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@CatherineB81977 @asforan A2- I think it absolutely can, especially if we are referring to outdoor Ed not necessarily as adventure Ed. Even with adventure Ed though, as we discussed in our previous course, this may entail more thoughtful planning and Resources to make accessible but should be happening.

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@McmullenTe96776 @asforan I agree, and I think sometimes these peak experiences in math and science we often forget to celebrate enough.

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@JoelJGoswell @asforan Yes they can be.I think a peak experience is such very individually and subjectively defined. I think lots of care must be taken in designing learning opportunities to ensure that making something accessible does not mean taking away challenge but making it safe and equitable.

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@BryanMa96672759 @martincorb793 @asforan If much the data from standardized tests is used for allocation of resources, perhaps outdoor living skills should become part that test and the results would show that much more resources should be devoted to to. Let’s include just include “life skills” to that test in that case

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@BryanMa96672759 @Pelchatdl @martincorb793 @asforan Perhaps we need to all call for or propose a paid position to help streamline this process for folks

[Moragh Jang @jang_moragh]

@Pelchatdl @CrystalRoberts_ @asforan This is a great idea and perhaps should become part of school advisory committee mandates
