Culture, Inclusion, and Planning for Experiential Learning

Orbis Season 4 Episode 26

In this episode of the Mindset in Motion podcast, join Dr. Bill Heinrich in conversation on one of three episodes dedicated to the latest articles in the ELTHE Journal. Here, Bill explores how institutional context and culture shape the practice of experiential learning. Our guests, ELTHE authors of “Revisiting SEE’s Principles of Good Practice for Experiential Education: Exploring Institutional Context and Culture” Elisa Avila from Texas A&M University-San Antonio, Rebekah Harriger from Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, Dennis McCunney from East Carolina University, and Ben Trager from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, discuss the critical interaction of on-campus location and experiential learning practices. They also delve into how diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral to the design of these programs, share strategies for effectively communicating the value of experiential learning to students and families, and examine the role of third-space professionals who navigate the intersection of academic and career education.  

 
This podcast is in partnership with the ELTHE Journal, which captures the best current scholarship in experiential learning: how it can be defined, strengthened, promoted, and assessed for the sake of educational effectiveness and equity.
