Experiential Learning is Experiential Learning Depot
What is Experiential Learning Depot anyway?
I am an experiential educator, outdoor enthusiast, environmentalist, die-hard Minneapolitan, and mother of two fierce and beautiful young humans. My college degree is in ecology and environmental science, so my early career was working with endangered species in the field. Over time I discovered that my passion lied in education more than it did in fieldwork.
I worked at an experiential community school for nine years following my work in science. I decided to take a short sabbatical a few years ago to stay home with my own young children, which was one of the most difficult decisions of my life. I fell in love with my students, my coworkers, and my work. It was hard to put that behind me, even temporarily. I couldn't completely walk away, so here I am, three years later writing blogs and creating resources about experiential learning.
My experience is in experiential education, dominantly project-based learning. I was also heavily involved in our school travel program, which comes out in my blog posts and resources occasionally.

The information and resources that I offer are intended to guid you into leading your team through an experiential transformation, or at least your classroom. I provide experiential tips and tricks, and create resources for teachers that and easy to implement and take little time away from your life. Experiential learning is largely student-directed, so your students do the bulk of the work, which in turn increases engagement and interest in learning.
