Summary "Written for students and instructors who want their classroom experience to be as involving as the field environment, Teaching Adventure Education Theory: Best Practices offers stimulating, fun, and engaging activities instructors can use in assisting future adventure educators, outdoor leaders, and group facilitators in making connections between adventure theory and practice. Each lesson plan provides detailed activity instructions, teaching suggestions, and an overview of the theory taught in the lesson to provide the instructor with background conceptual material. An instructor CD-ROM, included with the text, contains student handouts, worksheets, and PowerPoint presentations to facilitate lesson implementation and assessment."--BOOK JACKET
