Creating An Active Learning Environment

In this course, we will discuss and learn about active learning strategies, and how they are used to help to initiate learners to learn in various ways.  Active learning has been defined as “anything that involves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing” (Bonwell and Eison, 1991). Classrooms are moving away from the teacher-led instructional model, and moving towards methods which activate higher-order thinking and involve students in their learning through meaningful activities.  By the end of this course, you will learn how to create higher levels of student engagement by developing flexible learning environments. This course is applicable to all educators, guidance counselors/social workers/psychologists, administrators, and any related service providers of all subjects, grades K-12.
