Experiential Learning K-12

Experiential learning is not learning by doing - simply participating in a learning activity doesn't necessarily make it experiential.

Problem Solving Using Virtual Tools

Experiential Learning is an approach to teaching that provides opportunities for students to co-construct their learning by:

  • participating in rich experiences connected to a community outside of the classroom;

  • reflecting on those experiences to create meaning and identify learning; and

  • applying their learning to influence their decisions and actions in various aspects of their lives.


 

The experience can involve local, national, or global communities where teachers and students are:

  • physically present (an on-site experience); or

  • present through the use of digital tools and technologies (a virtual experience); or,

  • a combination of the these two (a blended experience).
