This book describes how to change the way in which educators conduct
business in the classroom. Our current educational systems lack ways to
reach today's learners in relevant, meaningful ways. The five approaches
in this book inspire and motivate students to learn. The authors provide
in-depth descriptions into these overlapping approaches for experiential
learning: active learning, problem-based learning, project-based
learning, service learning, and place-based education. Each of these
five approaches includes an element of student involvement and attempts
to engage students in solving problems. The chapters are presented in a
consistent, easy-to-read format that provides descriptions, history,
research, ways to use the approach, and resources. This book will help
educators transform their classrooms into dynamic learning environments.
