​Rooted in nearly 20 years of experience as an experiential educator, this experiential learning curriculum has been learner-tested, fine-tuned, and created to support deeper, student-centered learning, with structure, purpose, and reflection built in.
Custom Experiential Learing Curriculum
Have a strong project idea but no time to build all the materials? Through this custom-made process, you share your idea, and I design full, classroom-ready experiential learning curriculum. If the project is a good fit, I create the teacher guide and student materials and publish the final resource for easy classroom use. These are not worksheets. They’re intentionally designed learning journeys that support real-world, student-led learning. The job shadowing resource shown here was created through this exact process.

Project-Based ​Learning Resources
Project-based learning is taking the world by storm. Life is really a series of projects to manage, so having your high school students design and direct their own project-based learning experiences helps prepare them for this reality.

Students learn how to manage, organize, and execute their own PBL's. The following resources guide students through self-directed project-based learning, gradually giving them the tools to develop and manage projects.

Classroom Culture-Building
One of the top goals I hear from teachers is building a strong, connected classroom community. When students feel supported and valued, they collaborate better, take learning risks, and stay engaged. That includes building and revisiting community norms, relationship-building, teamwork, skill-building, and more.  Let me help you create that thriving environment with these experiential learning curriculum options!
Experiential Learning Curriculum: A student workbook for classroom community-building
Experiential Learning Curriculum: Group Work Problem-Based Learning Challenge
Experiential Learning Curriculum: Relationship-building is an essential part of a strong classroom community and culture. Personal storytelling is a great way to get to know your own students and for your students to get to know their peers and themselves.

Experiential Science Resources
I was a high school experiential science teacher for 10 years, so I have built a nice portfolio of experiential learning activity resources related to science, all of which engage students in challenging and abstract life science concepts. The following are some of my favorite experiential learning curriculum options for science, which include a variety of different experiential learning activity types.

They have lots of flexibility and choice in the style of product they create, but with lots of help keeping them on track with the guidelines provided. It was really cool fostering the creativity of students in my science class using this structure. Wonderful!" - Anonymous 9th/10th/11th (Wildlife and Conservation Bundle)

Life Skills Resources
Experiential learning is an approach that emphasizes real-world learning experiences that can be applied to life beyond a classroom. I have built an experiential learning curriculum around 21st-century soft skills such as critical thinking and creative problem-solving; that is the nature of experiential learning.

But what about life skills such as budgeting, planning meals, and making informed decisions for one's well-being and family? These experiential learning resources focus on the skills that are beneficial and necessary for being an independently functioning adult.
