Backed by Research
John Hattie’s Visible Learning Sequel (2023) research indicates the authentic learning models (e.g., service-learning) promote, on average, 1.5 years worth of learning in a year’s worth of teaching. The take-aways? Authentic learning closes gaps, fosters deeper learning, and ensures emotionally engaged learners.
Authentic learning is rooted in what motivates all humans - competence and confidence, agency, and human connections (Ryan & Deci, 2017). That’s why authentic learning works for both learning and engagement. Authentic learning de-centers the long-standing approach of learning being passive and/or teacher-centered, where academic goals are the only ones that matter and begins empowering students to be curious, creative, collaborative, and inspired with a real purpose beyond the tests!
Why This Matters
Many educators recognize the value of these approaches, many have had little personal experience with them, making effective implementation challenging. By experiencing the engagement and empowerment of authentic learning, participants gain both the emotional connection and practical foundation needed to begin to integrate authentic learning into their own classrooms and schools.
The Authentic Learning Immersive Experience transforms professional learning into an active, participatory process, ensuring that educators are not just learning about authentic instruction but truly experiencing it.
