Seven reasons why every teacher should master active experiential learning

Active Experiential Holistic Learning is the KEY to Future-Oriented Education and to addressing current global challenges.

Everything that children learn needs to happen in REAL LIFE - not in course books, worksheets, or on screen only.

Future-Oriented Education is about nurturing Life Skills - creativity, collaboration, reasoning, bodily awareness, positive self-image, problem solving, relationship building, and adaptability.These skills are nurtured through real-world experiences and through an authentic connection with the world around us. And only this will help our children succeed in the future - no matter the times and external circumstances.

Todays educators can offer Future-Oriented Education - providing that in their everyday practice they navigate towards Active Experiential Holistic Learning.

Here are 7 reasons why Active Experiential Learning is the Key Skillset for all teachers to focus on right now:

  1. The world is starting to realise that the outdated modes of teaching are no longer effective and do not bring desirable results any more. Many parents and educators are starting to understand that passive academic-oriented learning is not enough to prepare children for the future in these uncertain times.
  2. More and more parents are becoming more conscious and more demanding as to HOW learning is offered, and they no longer wish for their children to be overwhelmed with worksheets, course books, and academic-based activities. They expect educators to be able to use Active Experiential Holistic Learning much more often, if not all the time.
  3. More and more Early Years Leaders are looking for teachers who can offer much more than pen & paper activities. They prefer to hire passionate educators who know how to use the most effective educational approaches in their everyday practice, and who know how to make learning exciting, meaningful, and leaving long-lasting results.
  4. Very few educators on a global scale can effectively implement Active Experiential Holistic Learning on a daily basis. This means that when you master it, you will join the group of highly skilled and very sought-after Educators of the Future.
  5. Once you master Active Experiential Holistic Learning, you will feel very confident about planning, delivering, and evaluating truly engaging learning experiences that are fully aligned with the EYFS framework and the goals of Future-Oriented Education. When you implement Active Experiential Learning in your setting correctly, your daily workload related to planning and delivering meaningful learning experiences will get reduced significantly, and even put on autopilot.
  6. Even though many teachers are now under the spell that technology is the future of learning, world's top educators know it's not true. They realise that it's not technology that teachers need to master. Educators of the Future need to be able to use technology as well as any other tool to offer Active Experiential Holistic Learning effectively. 
  7. Active Experiential Learning is not yet another trend. It's the ever-green and one of the most powerful educational approaches that will never go out of fashion. And because it's based on the Universal Laws of Natural Learning, it always accelerates children's holistic learning and balanced development - and this will never change. So, once you master Active Experiential Holistic Learning, you can be sure that your skills will stay with you forever, and that you will be able to offer high quality education, regardless of times and current trends.
