We will introduce folks to our (Wildwood's) developing educational model that, unlike other approaches that we are aware of, situates experiences in a broader context and encourages transfer between experiential learning and content knowledge.","Description":"Through interactive discussion and sharing of materials (virtually and hard copy), we hope to create space for participants: \r\n \r\n- To explore an expanded form of contextual learning and connect to their own school contexts where applicable\r\n- To compare and contrast the challenges of curricular and contextual learning\r\n- To be introduced to a new, developing educational model that utilizes the strengths of each to optimize learning\r\n\r\n\r\nSome actionable take-aways that participants in this conversation may be able to begin to imagine implementing in their work might be:\r\n \r\n- Connecting contextual learning (internships, service, etc.) with currlcular learning\r\n- Working with students as the real drivers of learning\r\n- Developing a parallel strand of learning in a school that does what it does well","Link":["https:\/\/www.wildwood.org\/cf_news\/view.cfm?newsID=5648 (for Liza & Matt)","https:\/\/www.wildwood.org\/page.cfm?p=1735 (for Joe Wise)"],"Audience":["High School"],"Practice":"We will use lots of discussion coupled with interactive activities, document (PPT) sharing, lots of questions, and focused CONVERSATION!","Presenter":["Dr. Liza Bearman","Matt Lucas & Joe Wise"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Wildwood School"],"PresenterEmail":["lbearman@wildwood.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":131,"ScheduleLocationID":10,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"Talk to Chris Lehman!  : )","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":9}}
