Description
This book relates the complex value-based decisions, dilemmas, critical incidents, and interaction problems that experiential education leaders face. Outlined within are descriptive scenarios of incidents and situations based on reports from leaders in the field. Each scenario ends with the leader involved experiencing confusions, dilemmas, value-conflicts, and perplexities about what to do. For most of the situations, there is no "right" answer, and leaders will have to use their best judgment to make the call. There are rarely simple answers to the dilemmas that leaders face in the field; this is both the curse and the joy of working in experiential education. Training Leadership as it happens - reflecting on personal and professional knowledge and values, and then deciding on appropriate action.
