Some books address outdoor leadership; others focus on adventure programming. None delve into the specifics of both topics like Effective Leadership in Adventure Programming, Third Edition, does.
The first edition of this book helped define the body of knowledge for an emerging profession. Two editions later, this groundbreaking text now in full color provides adventure leaders with the tools and evidence they need to show that their outdoor programs are effective and have a lasting impact on their participants.
Internationally renowned authors Simon Priest and Michael Gass have significantly updated the content, based on the latest research, issues, and trends in the field of adventure education and leadership. They have reorganized chapters to conform to their new model of building core competencies. In addition, this third edition includes the following features:
Material on technology, social justice, cultural adaptation, sustainability, and facilitation techniques
An online instructor guide that offers activities, discussion questions, and assessments compiled from a group of acclaimed instructors
A digital field handbook that offers quick reference to key models, concepts, and checklists covered in the text
An expanded version of global perspectives, valuable for long-standing programs as well as those just beginning to enter the field
