Those looking for air exchange media can look away now. Sorry for wasting your time.
So Took a large group of kids out for a weekend in the hills followed all the school and DofE procedures even put in one or two of my own. They kids did a went through a "training" course. Which meant me giving talks and going through things for 1.5 hours each week from Oct-Easter. Wouldn't feel comfortable taking them if i didn't know they had some basic knowledge.
So i was confident that those on practice expeditions had maps routecards and could cope with with the days walking and camping. I have a papertrail of everything they have done.
The adults all either were experienced hillwalkers or were teamed with someone with experience AND had been on nav/supervisor courses and they were all teachers (is that Project biting at the bit?) and also had been briefed about what they were to do. When asked if they had any comments or ways to improve (see reflective practitioner), nothing.
So why am i having a sit down meeting with the boss and senior management team about grave concerns. If i've done bad then i'll raise my hand and take the flak but at least have the guts to tell me. Oh and remember the point when i said any questions and you didn't (SMEAC).
