Foundations of Leadership & Instruction (in-person) - The Mountaineers - 2022

Outdoor Leadership Course

Foundations of Leadership & Instruction (in-person)

The Foundations of Leadership & Instruction in-person event is replacing the annual Leadership Conference for 2022. Similar to the Leadership Conference, this event will encourage collaboration and a day of learning across branches

BACKGROUND

In July 2022, we launched the new Foundations of Leadership and Foundations of Instruction eLearning courses to meet the needs of our current and aspiring volunteers. We are excited to offer an in-person version of these two courses to support multiple learning styles and to provide a time for leader collaboration and community building. This in-person course will replace the Leadership Conference for 2022.

The in-person Foundations of Leadership and Instruction courses engage an expanded audience of current and aspiring volunteers. Similar to past events like the Leadership Conference, this in-person offering will be a full day of collaboration and learning across branches. Previous Leadership Conferences brought in outdoor professionals from partner organizations to present a series of interactive sessions. This year, we are excited to lean on seasoned leaders from our very own Mountaineers community for this event to explore the many facets of leadership. The in-person course will meet the same learning objectives/outcomes as the eLearning course, but presenters will bring their own spin to the content. The in-person event is a great alternative or supplement to the eLearning courses.

FINAL QUIZ & BADGES 

The in-person Foundations of Leadership & Instruction courses culminates in either the online "Foundations of Leadership Final Quiz" or "Foundations of Instruction Final Quiz". Attendees can complete the online final quizzes at their own pace, as there is no deadline. 

  • Attendees registered for the Foundations of Leadership track will be emailed the enrollment link to complete "Foundations of Leadership Final Quiz" through the online platform, Coassemble.
  • Attendees registered for the Foundations of Instruction track will be emailed the enrollment link to complete "Foundations of Instruction Final Quiz", through the online platform Coassemble.

Once attendees pass the final quiz, they will receive the Foundations of Leadership badge or the Foundations of Instruction badge. Please note that a Coassemble account will be required to complete the quizzes.
