ACTIVE LEARNING CONCEPTS

1. The most successful people are empowered people.  Empowered people are self-responsible, self-motivated, self-managing,

interdependent, self-aware, emotionally intelligent, self-esteeming life-long learners.

 Empowered people make choices that lead them toward, rather than away from,

their desired outcomes and experiences, including success in college.

2. In formal education, the deepest learning is provided by well- designed experiences.  All learning is ultimately created by what the learner does, not by what the

educator says.

 The best teaching is drawing out, not stuffing in.  Effective educators provide students with well –designed experiences and the

• pportunity to reflect meaningfully on them.

 Well-designed experiences are created in homework assignments, feedback &

evaluation, college & classroom activities, modeling, college & classroom environment, programs & curricula, college & classroom rules.

 Meaningful reflection upon life experiences leads to deep knowing.  Deep knowing is transformative, not additive.

3. Effective facilitation leads to deeper learning.
