Attached you will find experiential education lessons to try in your classroom! Experiential Learning is the process of learning by doing. By engaging students in hands-on experiences and reflection, they are better able to connect theories and knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world situations.

When students participate in experiential education opportunities, they gain:

A better understanding of course material
A broader view of the world and an appreciation of community
Insight into their own skills, interests, passions, and values
Opportunities to collaborate with diverse organizations and people
Positive professional practices and skill sets
The gratification of assisting in meeting community needs
Self-confidence and leadership skills
