Maine teachers engaged in professional development in outdoor education and teambuilding.
Curriculum Development: Need to brighten your curriculum? Want to integrate certain standards into your routine? Have a brilliant idea for an innovative program but need help formalizing and launching the idea? MOS will work directly with you or your staff to create an innovative curriculum or lesson plan by identifying enduring understandings, guiding questions, learning objectives, assessment evidence, and a minute-by-minute schedule.
Team-building: High functioning teams do not form on their own; they require patience, dedication, empathy, and communication in order to maximize productivity and morale. MOS will combine engaging hands-on team challenges with the findings of the latest research in teamwork to help you and your team to maximize your potential.
Evaluation: Is your organization meeting its mission? Are you struggling to quantify gains towards meeting your goals and objectives? MOS will work directly with your organization to determine how a program should start, whether it should continue, or how it should be adjusted moving forward to better meet your organization’s goals. Our process begins by helping you articulate your desired results, then creating a logic model to make sense of the complexity of your organization. We help you identify a specific question you need answering and then we custom craft and implement an array of evaluation tools to get the answers you need. Never be uncertain about your organization’s impact again.
Paying for Our Services: Maine Outdoor School is a mission-based organization. As such, MOS works to maximize accessibility to our programs. Because all our programs are customized to you, we will create a program and price proposal for you based on your budget and your goals. We can also help you with grant applications or finding other funding partners if need be
