Why does experiential learning resonate with students and learners? What can we learn from experiential learning in the social work sphere? Join Bill Heinrich in conversation this month with Dr. Christine Norton, a licensed clinical social worker and professor of social work at Texas State and certified adventure therapist. In this episode, Dr. Norton highlights how experiential education resonates deeply with learners, enabling them to engage cognitively, affectively, behaviorally, and somatically. Bill and Christine explore the challenges and opportunities in scaling up experiential education on college campuses and the need for faculty training and support, and equitable access to learning experiences.
Through practical examples from her social work classes, she illustrates how hands-on experiences, such as mock therapy sessions and role-playing, help students develop crucial skills and self-awareness.
There are some deep cuts in the episode, so listen for these references:
