Teachable Moments - Essays on Experiential Education (Paperback)

How do educators better reach their students, better capture their attention and imagination without sacrificing scholarship? Teachable Moments: Essays on Experiential Education examines the pedagogy of Prescott College, a school that has embraced experiential education and been finding success with it for over thirty years. These essays-from scholars in fields as wide ranging as religious studies, environmental science, psychology, dance, literature, adventure education, and peace studies-examine the challenges and, ultimately, the rewards of student-centered education. Each essay is preceded by an introduction that presents a synopsis of the work, the writer's biographical information, and a brief comment from the writer. The principles of experiential education, from pedagogy and class preparation to actual experiences and administrative duties, are shared throughout in story and anecdote. Teachable Moments: Essays on Experiential Education is a helpful guide for all educators.
