Professional Development Best practice showcase
This page showcases articles from back issues of the Institute's continuing professional development magazine for practitioners - HORIZONS. Every 2 months, we will be making available a selection of articles on outdoor learning topics, which you can download free. These articles are full of practical tips for practitioners, and are also related to the key areas of practices covered by the Institute's Accredited Practitioner scheme (APIOL). Each showcase will also contain a key article on facilitation skills, which will help you to implement the ideas in the other articles.
The topics for the next few months are:
- March-April 2007 - Where is outdoor learning at? (available now below)
