Expanding The Walls Of The Classroom: Difficulties And Successes In Expedition Based Learning, Jaime Evans
Scholarly and Creative Works Conference (2015 - 2021)

Yet, this approach to education remains the exception, rather than the norm in a standard public high school setting. The purpose of this research project is to better understand the experiences that teachers and administrators have when planning and executing expeditions, and to explore the obstacles that prevent and/or inhibit teachers from teaching outside the classroom.
