Publisher's Synopsis
Classrooms are continuously becoming harder places to work. There are discipline and engagement challenges, a relentless pace, high expectations, and so much to cover. The Cycle of Authentic Relevant Engagement (C.A.R.E.) is a simple, proven experiential learning method that will develop your ability to turn everything around and make you a superstar! Through the proof of over 400 research studies, we can point to C.A.R.E. as a motivating, engaging learning method that erases most discipline problems and engages students and teachers on an adventurous learning journey! Use the same curriculum you use today. Include important competencies in your students' learning - like critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, grit, and self-direction - and, do it all in an authentic, place-based experience. C.A.R.E. is adaptable and it is useful in every grade of schooling, including colleges, universities, alternate schooling, and business settings.
This book will guide you to become confident and in control of a powerful experiential learning method that really makes a difference. We all know that education needs to change, especially when we see that world-wide only 34% of students who are still in school in their final grades are actually fully engaged with their schooling. This is a monumental loss of learning that can be rectified, and C.A.R.E. is your first step in helping us all turn this situation around. Don't wait for someone to tell you what the next great direction in education is; show them. C.A.R.E. is real, it is powerful, and we are sincere. Visit us at our website, read the book, and join the C.A.R.E. community. Sincerely,Agnes, Stuart, and Ross
