@Pelchatdl @jang_moragh @asforan As for many peak experiences, the true description will far exceed Twitter’s character limit

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@jang_moragh The connection to nature creates an arena for peak experiences beyond any human-made venues.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@ryan_knechtel5 @jang_moragh @asforan sounds like a character builder. Peak experiences = who we are.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@Pelchatdl @jang_moragh @asforan Oh yes, I am sure you and that student eventually had a laugh about that eh. I did that once as well because it was a last minute trip. Mistakes when rushed eh.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@HartlinTommy @asforan Assessment of learning can be difficult to truly grasp for peak experiences.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@CrystalRoberts_ @HartlinTommy @asforan curiosity is a word that has taken up more real estate in my vocabulary as of this course. Totally agree!

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@HartlinTommy @asforan Peak experience is a transformable experience where one's learning and outlook is altered.
How can you tell? Students tell you. Furthermore, past students come to your class and tell you.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@BryanMa96672759 @asforan When I propose an outdoor event, I know 3/4 of the class will buy-in. I try to quietly pull aside those that are typically reluctant to find out what they will need to participate. Sometimes best to ask as opposed to guess.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@jang_moragh @BryanMa96672759 @asforan This is why I haven't taken the class rock climbing yet. Still a difficult bridge to cross for me.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@EKeagan73234 @BryanMa96672759 @asforan For me, it also seems to be a few 'traditional' parents that make these meaningful learning opportunities optional for their children. You are definitely onto something here!

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@GregoryRea29604 @CatherineB81977 @asforan Well said Greg. Inclusion can be built into the outdoors.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@carroll_mme @CatherineB81977 @asforan I appreciate how you list experience before training. Training is important yes, but exposure to the problem solving each individual class' needs can only be learned by getting out there.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@HartlinTommy @CatherineB81977 @asforan Could the same not be said when entering a math lesson?

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@missnconrad @JoelJGoswell @asforan Agreed. It is also worth noting how many barriers of inclusion that exist in the traditional school building that we would be appalled if we didn't provide assistance to overcome/include. Inclusion meets the students where they are at, not the venue.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@CrystalRoberts_ @JoelJGoswell @asforan Differentiating between peak and outdoor experiences is an interesting inquiry in respect to inclusion. I see the more traditional use of peak experiences often creates bigger inclusionary gaps. Creating a class culture that redefines 'peak' experiences may be beneficial.

Amongst friends and students at Nelson’s ‘The Cube’.
The Cube is a community focused, non-profit climbing gym. What a great vibe! @asforan

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@BryanMa96672759 @CrystalRoberts_ @Pelchatdl @asforan Kudos to all you. And yet I’m envious you got to spend the day together. Perhaps a cornerstone of OL is community.

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

Question 4: Does standardized testing and pressure from academics play a role in the reduction of outdoor education from middle school through high school?

Peel back some layers and let’s hear your meaningful insights!

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@GregoryRea29604 @carroll_mme @asforan Assessment is important no doubt. I ask you what the role of assessment is in OL? Is it the same as a math test assessment?

[martin corbett @martincorb793]

@CrystalRoberts_ @GregoryRea29604 @asforan Is there an age for that?
