Description
In this book's essays, teachers describe and reflect on the practice of experiential education in elementary, secondary, college, and outdoor settings. Major themes of these narratives include the insider's view of the teaching experience; active learning that requires student autonomy, imagination, and responsibility; and the view of experience as a bridge that links the school curriculum to the community and the world. Chapters are: (1) "Of Stones and Strands: An Introduction" (Bert Horwood); (2) "Experiential Education in the English Classroom" (Gail C. Simmons); (3) "Experiential Learning: A Teacher's Perspective" (Tom Herbert); (4) "History Comes Alive" (Gary Shultz); (5) "Community Involvement in Education" (Bill Patterson, Bert Horwood); (6) "Gender and Engagement in a Jobsite Classroom" (Karne Kozolanka); (7) "At the Heart of Education: Portfolios As a Learning Tool" (Rick Gordon, Thomas Julius); (8) "Practice and Perspective: Two Views of Experiential Education" (Ed Raiola); (9) "Field Trips: Maximizing the Experience" (Deborah A. Millan); (10) "The Influence of Expeditionary Learning in Outward Bound and College" (Rogene McKiernan); (11) "Can Program Evaluation Rescue Service Learning?" (Lyn M. Shulha, Jeffry Piker); (12) "Science and Magic: A Lesson In Photosynthesis" (Gary William Rasberry); (13) "An Experiential Adventure School for Sexually Abused Adolescents" (Thomas E. Smith); (14) "No Strings Attached: Personalizing Mathematics" (Rena Upitis); (15) "'The Stubborn Particulars of Grace'" (David W. Jardine); and (16) "Experience and the Curriculum" (Bert Horwood).
