Opportunities for Elementary and Secondary School Students

In both elementary and secondary schools, community-connected experiential learning opportunities of short or medium duration may include activities and experiences such as: field studies; field trips; project-based, inquiry-based, or problem-based learning; service learning; learning in the out of doors; job shadowing or job twinning; and work experience. These activities and experiences are described in the following paragraphs. It is essential that each experiential learning opportunity enable the student to engage fully in the experiential learning cycle – participate, reflect, and apply.
