  1. Moeller High SchoolOutdoor Education Program (Honors Science Elective/1Full credit !)

  2. Outdoor Education What we propose: To offer an outdoor education program to students at Archbishop Moeller High School

  3. What we wish to accomplish: • To teach respect for and understanding of nature; • To teach students about the human impact on nature and the Christian concern for environmental justice; • To foster more active learning by engaging students with the learning environment;

  4. To offer students an opportunity to reflect on the learning process, and to show students how recent discoveries about the brain can help them become life long learners; • To help students create a community of learners.

  5. What students do: • Spend 6-8 days learning about nature while hiking along the Appalachian Trail or in Rocky Mountain National Park; • Attend Ranger talks, view videos, read natural history handbooks for relevant background information; • Make daily journal entries about what they observed experientially and how that confirms or refutes what they know vicariously;

  6. Participate in daily discussions about the information in their journals as well as about the experiential learning process; • Learn how to care for their living space (e.g. cook, wash clothes), to hike attentively, and to observe the environment carefully.
