*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
    • Driving Question Starter: “How can we, as (students, teachers, a school, citizens, community, stewards, scientists, etc.), plan/design/create/solve/make
  • Brainstorm causes and possible solutions
  • Develop a plan to address some part of the problem (or the whole problem)
