The Lived Experience Phenomenon (LEP) teaching method provided in this book is a superlative and highly adaptable teaching tool for educators rooted in various disciplines, and is applicable to diverse instructional teaching styles. The LEP teaching method creates a space within a traditional and online learning environment, where personal knowledge becomes not only relevant, but a useful instrument to assist in the understanding and retention of new learning. The LEP teaching method showcases an innovative instructional technique designed to successfully:
- Utilize student memories and lived experiences to substantially increase learning and course outcomes
- Provide individualized learning and memory techniques for long term memory retention
- Increase student engagement and in-school retention through a unique personal connection to learning
- Offer a personal connection to students that online courses often lack
- Provide educators food for thought and practical applications in the use of LEP in the traditional classroom and online
At the heart of the LEP teaching method lays “LEP’s inquisitive reflection” which allows for a mind-shift from “content absorption” to “content connection,” and authentic understanding of new information in a uniquely personal way. The LEP teaching method is designed to significantly enhance the learning environment where mind maps unfold not only for the learner, but also for the teacher with fascinating results. Uniquely tapping into the memories of each individual, the LEP teaching method provides students enormous potential in helping them learn, stay engaged for the duration of the course, retain new information in the long term, and put real world experience, content relevance, and fun back into the course.
