Early Beginnings In Outdoor Education, Julie A. Carlson Jun 2000

Early Beginnings In Outdoor Education, Julie A. Carlson

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

The year 2000, then, marks the 70th anniversary of outdoor education, and represents an appropriate time to revisit some of its early beginnings in the United States. Outdoor education today has mixed and melded with other outdoor and experientially related approaches to learning. It is believed that knowledge of the historical roots of outdoor education, and identification of the paths it has taken to arrive where it is today, can help educators in broadening their understanding of relationships between various approaches to pedagogy.

John Ruskin A Lesser Known- Environmentalist, Van Akin Burd Jun 2000

John Ruskin A Lesser Known- Environmentalist, Van Akin Burd

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

The Centennial of the death of the English writer, John Ruskin (1819-1900), is being observed this year in numerous exhibitions and conferences in England, the United States, Italy, Japan. These celebrations are testimony to his gifts as a painter, his enduring influence as an art and social critic, and his warnings as an environmentalist. During his lifetime, the Victorians knew him primarily as a writer on art and architecture-The Stones of Venice (1851-1853) leading to a rediscovery of the beauty of Venice and early Italian painters like Giotto, and such successors as Tintoretto and Botticelli. In recent years we have …

From The Editor, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

For history to be truly understood more than reporting facts about past events must occur. The significance of events to people must also be described. Hence, our lead story "Early Beginnings in Outdoor Education" by Julie Carlson provides a good summary of outdoor education history. Her scholarly approach outlines the progress of the movement from 1930 to the present. Carlson's careful documentation furnishes good suggestions for those who would read more deeply.

Leaming From An Outdoor Education Hero, Clifford Knapp Jun 2000

Leaming From An Outdoor Education Hero, Clifford Knapp

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Curiosity seized me and when L.B. paused, I raised my hand and asked, "What's that bird?" L. B. thought for a moment and then replied, "I don't know: why don't you go and find out?" His response was surprising because I thought he would give the bird's name and want me to stay for the rest of his lecture. I blurted out, "Do you mean right now?" He said "Yes, right now, before the bird flies away". Somewhat reluctantly, I left the group and eventually discovered the mystery bird was a yellow-billed cuckoo. Now I realize that L.B. knew the …

Review, Charles Yaple Jan 2000

Review, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Like Paul Rezendes' The Wild Within: Adventures in Nature and Animal Teachings (see Taproot, summer 1999), Dan Dustin has penned a collection of essays about adventure-based outdoor recreation experiences set mostly in the context of mountains, forests, and deserts. Both authors share how nature has served to expand their awareness and understanding of life and stress the value of frequent self-reflection. Unlike Rezendes, Dustin also includes six essays suggesting that what makes life interesting "flows out of everyday pastimes" such as visiting with friends, playing games, listening to music, and enjoying good food.

There are many uses for poetry: an expression of emotion, an experiment in language, a political act, or a work of art. Poetry also comes in many forms, from a 3- line haiku to a book-length epic. But all poetry is about using language in a unique way-it says things that cannot be said in prose or speech. The exercises below help poets to stimulate their imaginations, sharpen their tools and stretch their limits. You'll also find verses from poets that roughly correspond to the exercises-let them inspire you!

Going Beyong The Third Grade Science Kit: An Integrated Thematic Approach, Michele D. Wiederspohn

All Graduate Projects

A project has been developed to aid in the design of a third grade science program and/or to be used as a supplement to any existing third grade science curriculum. The project has been organized into fourteen lesson plans. Each lesson plan includes an overview of the lesson, student learning objectives matched to the Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements, activities, a list of required materials, an outline of instruction, and the name of a trade book to compliment the lesson. Current literature and research regarding the topic of integrated curriculum were explored.

Environmental Education In A "Reforming" Education World, Michele Archie, Bora Simmons Jan 2000

Environmental Education In A "Reforming" Education World, Michele Archie, Bora Simmons

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Environmental education is in an awkward position. Nationwide polls tell us that 96% of parents support teaching environmental education in the schools.1 When teachers are asked if environmental education is important, an overwhelming majority (97.9%) agrees. Yet few teachers consistently include environmental education in their curriculum. 2 In the 30 years since environmental education took wing, many teachers have found themselves caught between believing in the importance of environmental education and feeling pressed to find the time to "fit" it in.

From The Editor, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

The beginning of another millennium suggests a time for fresh starts - a "time to throw out the old and ring in the new." Indeed, if the pace of technological break-through continues to escalate as during the 1990's, change will be almost omnipresent influencing culture from New York City to the outer reaches of Mongolia. Traditional ways of life will face increasing pressures and traditions themselves may have lifespans measured in decades as compared to thousands or hundreds of years.

The Earth Wisdom Of Male Initiation, Christopher M. Paddon Jan 2000

The Earth Wisdom Of Male Initiation, Christopher M. Paddon

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

All traditional societies have such a process-called initiation. For millennia, tribal and religious rites have supported and directed youth on their path to a healthy adulthood. Cultures worldwide have almost universally held rituals of transformation for their young. These traditional customs endured for centuries as part of a carefully structured and effective rite of passage into adulthood. Culture after culture believed if the young man was not introduced into "the Mysteries," he would not know what to do with his pain and would almost always abuse his power. Young men were thus initiated into the social and ecological heritage of …
