Gaining Insight & Direction Through Experiential Learning
Join Kendall Hunt authors, Joani LaMachia and Jonathan Andrew, as they present a webinar titled "Gaining Insight & Direction Through Experiential Learning for Your Personal, Professional, and Civic Life".
In their exciting, interactive new book–LOOK UP--Gaining Insight and Direction Through Experiential Learning--For Your Personal, Professional and Civic Life, Dr. Joani LaMachia and Jon Andrew identify and examine the choices that students face when navigating through their institutions of higher learning, workplaces and global society.
Through the course of the book, the authors unpack with students how to creatively integrate and act on what you study both in and out of the classroom. This book will enable students to adopt a new lens through which to view education as being not a process of knowledge acquisition through exposure and absorption, but of knowledge, skills and competency development through engagement, experimentation, collaboration, application, reflection and ethical action.
The goal is to help prepare students to be lifelong learners who are capable of learning anywhere. Through this mindset, they will be able to meet the present age of accelerations prepared with an intellectual, emotional and cultural pliability, allowing them to fulfill their potential personally, professionally, and civically.
This presentation will introduce participants to the concepts of the book and provide ways that they could use the book in their teaching and advising in experiential learning programs with students.
