The Cedarsong Way Foundations Training Documentation Form

You will use this form to document your participation throughout the training.

Every time you complete a video or book reading, an experiential activity, or your individual mentorship session, you will return to this form and document your work (and play!)

You can fill in each form as you go. After you have completed your documentation, scroll to the bottom of the form and hit the “save and continue later button” when you have finished. You will be sent a link to use to continue with the form at your convenience. You will use this link to open the form again and begin where you left off.

Please make sure to also save your work in a document on your own computer just in case of any computer glitches! If there is ever a time when you find that your files are too large to upload, you can send them to us directly at admin@cedarsongway.org.

You will be asked to note your start and end dates on the form below. Please pay close attention to those. You have three months to complete the course, and the course must be completed in that time frame in order for you to receive the credit and certificate.

Finally, certificates go out quarterly. You will receive your certificate at the quarter mark that corresponds to your completion time, not on the day you personally complete the training

Have fun!

Sessions should be limited to one hour and are a good way to practice timing and boundaries with other adults which can sometimes be difficult when working with families. Please document your start and end time to exercise this skill.
End time*
Choose one aspect of The Cedarsong Way and describe why it speaks to you, how it is different from other models you are familiar with, and how it might challenge you.*
(Remember, you can simply jot down notes here. You do not need to respond in full.)
The Cedarsong Way holds the belief that most adults who grow up to love the natural world had their own naturalist mentor, maybe a parent, a relative or neighbor, or a camp counselor or guide. Tell a little about your nature mentor and how they impacted you.*
