Active learning and student engagement in higher education are crucial to student success. The session will explore how a pilot experience course using team-based learning enriched with experiential learning and folio thinking promotes deeper engagement and active learning. The course professor and three undergraduate students will provide an overview of the course, share individual experiences with the course components, and discuss teaching strategies to promote middle schoolers' engagement, tested out during their experiential learning sessions at the local middle school. Through open discussion, audience members will learn ways in which they can encourage active learning and engagement in their classrooms.
