Outdoor Educator Log Book
Recognising that log books are an essential part of sound professional practice, EONZ has developed a log book to meet the needs of both outdoor educators and those providing Education Outside The Classroom (EOTC) .
The contents includes section one which covers personal details and information on keeping a log book.
Sections two to four allow for the recording of information on training courses attended, personal outdoor experiences and leadership and instruction experiences.
The log book comes complete with some sample pages to ensure that the task of log book keeping is as effortless as possible.
