Outdoor Education: Practitioners

An IslandWood Outdoor Educators guide to tapping into conversations

Practitioners

Practitioners are professionals and others working within the field you're researching, for example, outdoor educators, workers in nonprofit associations, and workers in city/county/state/federal government agencies. Look to practitioners when you want to know what is current practice (syllabi or curricula). 

You can find practitioner voices through:

  • Grey literature
  • Professional associations/conferences
  • Government and nonprofit sources
