I am taking this course as a substitute for another course similar to this one called Environmental and Cultural interpretation. Even though this course focuses on revitalizing tired or burnt out teachers, our surroundings, the ADKs, will be what each of us will interpret and try to understand. Thus, this course is perfect for me because I wish to work in the Adirondacks as a ranger, naturalist or for the DEC. What's a better way to do it than this course?!
My interest in the environment and culture stems from the relationships humans have with their environments and how I, as an interpreter, can influence others to understand as best as possible the way life is, can, or will be pending certain circumstances.
My goal at the moment in life is to find a professional career in either the National Park Service, work for a guiding company in the Adirondacks, or somewhere someplace in the outdoors helping to serve others.
I am probably not going to become a professional teacher but in the job market, having the ability to demonstrate how to teach is a very strong skill to have. Being able to teach is a crucial skill in our society and in life. Therefore, being skillful in presenting information to others is very important to have and I would like to improve on how I teach.
During this up coming week, my goal is to learn a more thorough and detailed explanation of the creation, history, stories and life of the Adirondacks.
I also wish to hear stories from a good story teller or learn to create my own story to tell of something of the Adirondacks once the course is over.
