In education, one of our greatest shortcomings is ignoring widely available research that confirms optimal learning experiences can be achieved by implementing multi-sensory activities, pursuing meaningful tasks, and exploring a variety of skills using real-world applications.
Instead of traditional learning that focuses on reciting and reiterating content, our students would be better served by learning opportunities that tap into their full capacity. How can teachers identify and create authentic curriculum that supports this type of learning?
