Experiential Education
Experiential
Education is a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to learning,
teaching, and leading that integrates direct experience with focused
reflection for developing new knowledge, relevant life skills, and
socially-conscious constitution. The transformative potential of
experiential education builds a
student's professional capacity through autonomy, adaptability and
resilience.
Through
environmental education serving students in its surrounding
communities, ADE serves its neighbors by providing them with knowledge
and skills needed to care for the earth around them. ADE provides
advanced knowledge and technical skills to equip students for lifelong
service in protecting and restoring the natural world. Such knowledge
and skills are then directed through volunteer outreach to our local
area.
Through
its dedication to provide field-based courses and primary research
experiences to undergraduate college students, ADE pursues new knowledge
of how nature works, and how to investigate those workings in ways that
lead to accurate understanding and authentic discovery.
