a new way of thinking about
an old way of teaching.

Designing experiential learning activities in
classroom activities ensures that learners
have an opportunity to practice their skills.

learners’ immediate needs ensures that the
skills they are practicing are directly related
to the challenges they face.

Experiential Learning in the
Classroom
• Experiential learning experiences that
occur via in-class activities should reflect
the complexity of the world outside the
classroom. 
• A strategy that presents five steps for
creating experiential learning in both
virtual and physical classroom settings.

Five steps for creating
Experiential learning
1. Experiencing: Do something
This is the step that is associated with the “game” or
the experience. Participants are involved in
completing a defined task.

2. Publishing: Share observations

The second step of the cycle gives learners a chance
to share what they saw, how they felt, and what they
experienced.

3. Processing: Interpret the dynamics or
concepts
This step gives participants a chance to
discuss the patterns and dynamics they
observed during the activity

4. Generalizing: Connect to real life

The key question in this step is, “So what?”
Participants are led to focus their awareness
on situations that are similar to what they
have experienced. 6
5. Applying: Plan effective change

The last step presents the reason the

activity was conducted: “Now what. . . .?”
The facilitator helps participants apply
generalizations to actual situations in which
they are involved.

for High Potentials

This blended-approach strategy

to improve on a real project, with
feedback.
