You may be asking yourself, why teach an academic course in adaptive management?
Academic courses that bring together students and practitioners to apply the OS to real conservation projects has proven time and again to be a win-win collaboration.
Practitioners get:
- An opportunity to systematically apply the OS to their work
- Useful draft management plans and recommendations
- A cadre of prospective staff / interns with AM skills
Students get:
- Fluency in Open Standards – looks great on a resume!
- An opportunity to gain hands-on experience applying AM skills to real-world projects
- Exposure to the realities and challenges of conservation practice
To learn more on how to start a course of your own, visit the Getting a Course Started page or contact the TAM Core Team. Our global team can respond to emails in English, Spanish, German, or French!

Our Collaborators
Every organization, agency, project, and individual has its own preferred set of terms. There is no right answer – the most important thing is that the members of your project team and the people with whom you work have a clear and common understanding of whatever terms you choose to use.
