Well, training weeks are now offically over. Kidos will be coming to our grounds soon. Makes me a nervous wreck. Within these three weeks we learned pretty much everything that we need to know, plus more for the schools who will come to our grounds. I'm ready to get my feet wet and start teaching again. This will be so different then T-lee. Students are here for a week, so we will get to know them better and see many of them step out of their comfort zone and grow.
This past weekend we went to a conference called ACROS. It is a christian based organization that was created for those who teach outdoor ed. It was a fun weekend. The first seminar I attend was about why it is important for outdoor ed to be around. So, many students really enjoy getting to go to camp to have hands on learning. The second seminar was about classroom management. Many of the things mentioned during this seminar they do here. The third seminar I went to was about adding creative writing time to the week. I was really good. Seeing some of the students writings from the speakers camp were awesome. Then he gave us a chance to go out and spend 10 minutes to reflect and write. He gives his students a minimum of 30 mins to do this. The final seminar was on team building. That was fun, because we actually did a couple of team building activities.
