Experiential Learning

Are there labs for experiential learning to connect content with real-life experiences (learning by doing) which community partner mentors can use to work with students?

Provide labs for experiential learning to connect content with real-life experiences (hands on learning and learning by doing). Experiential Learning makes learning relevant to students by connecting content with real-life experiences. It is a critical component of the learning environment for all learners in every subject area. It is necessary to integrate specialized labs that support a variety of programs.

The Ed Specs serve to illustrate concepts that will inform the master plans based on OUSD's aspirations to the audience of future architects who will implement them as well as for OUSD stakeholders to understand the reasoning behind modernizations.
