The process of becoming an experiential educator involves honoring the full cycle of experiential learning by playing multiple roles in the learning process. Highly effective educators use four different educator roles to organize their educational activities in such a manner that they address all four learning modes—experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting. As they do this, they lead learners around the learning cycle, shifting the role they play depending on the stage of the cycle they are addressing.  If you are seeking more impact with your learners, this method will give you a more solid theoretical understanding as well as tips and best practices to improve your own educational processes.

 

This program is especially targeted to educators and trainers who wish to bring Experiential Education into their work and may have not been introduced to Kolb Experiential Learning Theory.

 

This program will assist you in becoming a better experiential educator by:

 

  • Reviewing the foundations of experiential learning
  • Introducing experiential learning theory and the four learning modes
  • Debunking common misconceptions about experiential learning
  • Discovering how to move among educator roles to help learners engage in deep learning,
  • Examining one’s own profile of educator role preferences
  • Formulating strategies to enhance our ability to play key roles in the teaching and learning process.

 

Learning Activities – to be completed at your own pace:

 

Activity 1: Foundations of Experiential Learning

Activity 2:  The Kolb Educator Role Profile

Activity 3: Tips for Enacting the Four Educator Roles

Activity 4: Additional Reading

The Kolb Educator Role Profile (KERP) describes four roles that effective educators use: Facilitator, Expert, Evaluator and Coach. Educators play these roles as they help learners maximize learning by moving through the four stages of the experiential learning cycle.

Most of us adopt all of these roles to some extent, however, tend to have preferences for certain roles. When you become aware of your preferences, you’re able to make deliberate choices about what works best for you and your learners in various contexts.
