*Experiential learning is investigative and collaborative within a community.
Steps:
- Identify a concern, a desired change or a vision you wish to realize centered around the Big Idea or Concept.
- Use a Driving Question to frame the problem.
- The driving question actively guides the individual or group throughout the project.
- The driving question uses personalized words like I, we, or us—not “you” or “students”
- The driving question provokes group members to ask further questions
- The driving question is OPEN-ENDED
- The answer to the driving question is somewhat complex and leads to in-depth inquiry
- The driving question may be aligned with Common Core or Essential Standards
- The driving question requires group members to learn content and skills

- Brainstorm causes and possible solutions
- Develop a plan to address some part of the problem (or the whole problem)
