I’ve been in the FACS profession for a very long time and it seems to me that this “new” concept of Experiential Learning that I keep reading about has been something we’ve always done! We’ve always been about hands-on learning that focused on meaningful activities and putting theories into practice around real world and real life experiences! We’ve been developing students’ skills, critical thinking and preparing them for life from the get-go! So, if you’re not sure you are including experiential learning in your programs or courses, just take a look at the list below to see how you can do so or reaffirm that what you’ve been doing is a current pedagogical strategy and/or model.
