Experiential Learning
In more traditional school settings, students often hear and read about others' experiences. At EMS, teachers consider individual learning styles and facilitate opportunities for students to make discoveries and experiment with knowledge firsthand.
Then, students have time to reflect on what they have experienced, completed, even made mistakes with. That's experiential learning.
Experiential Learning
Experiential learners must:
- be willing to be actively involved in the experience.
- be able to reflect on the experience, sometimes in writing, sometimes in conversation with teachers and peers.
- possess and use analytical skills to conceptualize the experience.
- possess or make progress in developing decision-making and problem-solving skills in order to use the new ideas gained from the experience.
