Experiential Learning for Pre-Service Teachers

This course is designed as a professional development opportunity for pre-service teachers to broaden and deepen their understanding of the value of experiential learning for their students, and how to best connect real-world experiences with traditional classroom instruction. Teachers will develop practical strategies for traveling with student groups, and engaging students in the real-world classroom. Teachers will explore and discover technology tools for both educators and students to capture and reflect upon their educational travel experience. Through further discovery, reflection & discussion of best practices, teachers will gain tangible tools for expanding their teaching beyond classroom walls.
