Why Experiential Learning Matters
We don't learn best by listening or memorizing-we learn best by doing. This book explores the foundation of experiential learning, drawing from the insights of educational pioneers such as:

But why does experiential learning matter more than ever today?
- Students are bombarded with information-but true understanding comes through experience.
- Traditional teaching methods often fail to prepare students for the complexities of the real world.
