Springfield College MEd In Adventure Program
I am excited to announce that Springfield College has chosen to collaborate with Experiential Tools as a strategic provider for the new MEd In Adventure Education Program. The workshops that Experiential Tools offers have been pre-vetted for credit in the program. You would work with the program director to determine the credit value of each workshop. The online MEd in Adventure Education at Springfield College is designed to promote career advancement, enhance an earned related undergraduate degree, and/or to provide advanced academic training for individuals employed or planning to seek employment as physical educators, recreation leaders, and/or youth development professionals in academic, community, and youth-serving agencies. As part of this online degree program, Springfield College offers the option for students to complete up to 9 credits through professional development workshops with high quality adventure and experiential education training agencies such as Experiential Tools. These experiences can be completed at convenient times in the student’s professional schedule. To earn these credits, the student must be accepted into the degree program and enrolled in one online course within the Adventure Education program core. Students will work with the program director to examine prior experiences or identify and complete workshops aligned with curriculum outcomes. This means that upcoming or open enrollment or custom workshop participants can go towards earning these 9 credits. Stay in touch about upcoming workshop offerings such as Inspired, Educator, Engaged and Connected Learners, Games and Activities That Teach, and Bring Learning to Life Meaningful Reflection.
