This program will discuss, train, and demonstrate several in-classroom adventure-based activities designed to create cohesion with students and promote enhanced discussions. From a diversity perspective, these purposeful activities intend to create trust, respect, and a collaborative spirit within the classroom where diverse students with differing perspectives will feel comfortable to share their ideas. Activities drawn from Human Growth and Development, Substance Abuse, Counseling Skills, Research and Program Evaluation, and Group Counseling courses will be presented. From this interactive presentation, attendees will be able to apply scaffolding activities in their classes purposefully designed to enhance learning and develop open interactions with students.
