Beyond “You Can Do It!”: Designing, Modeling, and Activating Support in Experiential Education
The 2026 Association for Experiential Education Conference
November 12th, 1:00pm-4:30pm
Themes: Classroom & K-12 Schools; Facilitation; Leadership Development & Professional Training
Join Ryan McCormick, Education Program Manager & Product Design and Development at High 5 Adventure Learning for this workshop session: “You can do it!” is often our go-to form of support, but is it actually helpful? What if a participant can’t, or doesn’t believe they can? This workshop pushes beyond encouragement to explore what real support looks like in practice. Grounded in the Edge of Leadership framework, participants engage in innovative, hands-on activities to design, model, and activate support, building clear expectations, predictable behavior, and strong group culture. Using the Five Types of Support, Activated Support Model, and Needs–Values–Expectations (NVE) framework, attendees practice language that better responds to needs, emotions, and context. No prior knowledge required.
