Abstract
In my project, I will present strategies to create an engaging and experiential environment where students are co-creators of value in the course. I will share how to incorporate Xavier’s Mission into the student learning and the classroom environment by discussing how to create pedagogy that links Bloom’s Taxonomy to Xavier’s Jesuit Values. Additionally, I will discuss strategies to facilitate experiential learning and solicit student feedback. These include tactics related to formal and informal feedback, ungraded assignments, team-based projects, and classroom discussions. Collectively, this project highlights the importance of creating a comfortable learning environment in which students increase their knowledge through the process of “learn-do-teach”; students learn through lecture and discussion, do through in-class assignments, assessments, and activities, and teach by sharing their knowledge—with their peers and professional partners—on team-based experiential learning projects.
