The Outdoor Learning Professional

By Katy Hensby and Roger Hopper

The Outdoor Learning Professional is designed as a thought-provoking text that explores relevant discussions about what might denote a professional in the outdoor sector. These discussions are not new, yet they are often happening in isolation in different areas of the outdoor learning arena, this book brings these together in a text that allows the reader to explore current thinking from these different areas.

Divided into four sections, this book discusses the various different ways in which outdoor learning and the outdoor sector can be viewed and therefore provides a broader understanding of what it means to become and remain a professional within these different perspectives.

The Outdoor Learning Professional is key reading for students, researchers and practitioners alike in the areas of Outdoor Education, Outdoor Adventure Leadership, Adventure Sports Coaching, Outdoor Learning and Programming or Outdoor education and is designed to support anyone involved in the outdoor learning sector to explore their thinking about what an outdoor professional is.
