July 17: Course Orientation

The instructors met the day prior to course start to develop rapport with each other, plan educational elements and logistics, pack all the group and personal equipment, and to learn about the students. The instructors carefully reviewed each student by reading their application materials, which were quite impressive. Together they evaluated the group and broke the group into balanced patrols and decided which student would go with which instructor. They also evaluated their personal development plans, and determined their goals for the course. Scott was our capable, professional and clear minded Course Director. Under his direction, Piera, Megan, and Perry enjoyed an efficient course orientation, and had plenty of time to sort out their own gear.
