Pre-Conference Workshops

K-12 Educator Workshop

This workshop will be an introduction/refresher to those interested or working in Experiential Education. Although it is designed for K-12 educators, it is applicable to higher education as well. This hands-on active workshop will take you through the steps in preparing for experiential education back on your campuses. Participants will explore and engage in activities related to NSEEs Eight Principles (Intention, Authenticity, Preparedness and Planning, Orientation and Training, Reflection, Monitoring and Continuous Improvement, Assessment and Evaluation, and Acknowledgment). Many of the strategies and website/apps we will use in the workshop will be beneficial to all educators in other aspects of learning.
