Master's in Education - Adventure Focus - California locations

Kristen Okura of Don Juan Avila Middle School in Ailiso Viejo CA and Chip Candy, NASPE Teacher of the Year from NJ, have been advocating for a series of workshops for California PE Educators that will support the achievement of the Plymouth State University / Project Adventure Master's in Education with an Adventure Focus.

Starting in November, a series of weekend Project Adventure workshops will be held in Ailiso Viejo. Each workshop is eligible for 2 or 4 graduate credits through PSU (part of the NH state university system). Workshops will be lead by Project Adventure instructors.

And, the good news is, you don't have to be interested in graduate credit to take the workshops. You can select one workshop or if you register for five or more, you receive a 10% discount on all workshops. The workshop tuition includes all books and materials. Payment for credits is through PSU ($135 per credit). Workshop tuition ranges from $290 - $ 400 and is payable directly to Project Adventure. Advance registration is required.


To learn more about this exciting opportunity, or to inquire about holding a series of workshops in your area, contact bwonson@pa.org or call 805-556-0895 or 978-524-4619.

Reflections from a workshop partictipant

Of course, Project Adventure trainings are about learning skills, methods and tools for using in your work. But the by-product which is often over looked - or that isn't thought about in advance is the learning about your self.

One recent participants comments remind me of that extremely meaningful and relevant benefit of the unique format of Project Adventure's open-enrollment workshops.
