For many years participating teachers have taken the one hour graduate credit course offered at Mohican Outdoor School through Ashland University during their resident session. If you are interested in getting graduate credit, please make sure you have filled out the appropriate area on the Idea Sheet and send it to us three weeks before your session so that we may include your class in the schedule.

Below you will find the Syllabus for this workshop including cost.

Title: Resident Environmental Education - One Semester Credit

Workshop Purpose:

To provide a meaningful first-hand experience of resident outdoor/environmental education for the certified classroom teachers who bring their students to Mohican Outdoor School. By participating in a hands-on education session with their own students, they will be provided with a valuable continuing study experience.

Objectives:

1.       To help plan resident outdoor/environmental education experience with the help of the Mohican staff.

2.       To prepare, teach, and evaluate at least one 2 hour class at the outdoor school. (Analyze how the class taught at           Mohican can be used back in the home school classroom.)

3.        To observe and analyze at least two classes taught by Mohican staff members.

4.        To observe and analyze the behavior of at least two students in two very different settings. (Home school and Mohican            School.)

5.         Identify State Proficiency Test anticipated outcomes where possible.

It is hoped that participants will gain valuable insight into how their own students learn in different settings and with different teachers.

Graduate credit will be granted upon satisfactory completion of all workshop requirements.

Fee: $189.00 (Make checks payable to Ashland University)
