Designed to provide some guidelines for instructors developing a course on Survival Education, this project outline may be used as an actual pattern for course design; also, the administrator/supervisor may utilize this as an evaluative tool for examining other similar course presentations. Because a contemporary survival course must take into consideration comtemporary problems, the project stresses throughout that Survival Education is a very complex subject; the student must learn techniques applicable to many environments or situations. The paper gives a brief survey of the history of Survival Education, and lists societal needs and the principles, goals, and objectives of Survival Education. It then outlines an implementation strategy and discusses funding, criteria for selection of components and settings, and suggestions for instructors and for selection of activities. Teaching strategies, a course plan, and a course outline are also provided, as well as a concluding section on evaluation methods. (CM)
