About this title

Synopsis

Experiential Learning in Secondary Schools: The Practical Guide to Designing, Teaching, Assessing and Sustaining Meaningful Learning Through Experience.

What if students learned more deeply because school felt less like something delivered to them and more like something they actively did, tested, questioned, created, and reflected on?

Experiential Learning in Secondary Schools is a practical, research-informed guide for teachers and school leaders who want to design learning that students can genuinely inhabit. Rather than treating experiential learning as a trend, an enrichment extra, or a reward for already engaged classes, this book shows how it can become a rigorous and sustainable framework for mainstream secondary teaching.

Drawing together theory, pedagogy, assessment, inclusion, leadership, and innovation, Jacques Retief shows how schools can move beyond passive coverage toward purposeful learning design. He explores how to plan curriculum based on meaningful outcomes, build a strong classroom culture, use active learning with discipline, assess authentic work with credibility, support diverse learners thoughtfully, and lead whole-school implementation that lasts.

This is a book about making learning more purposeful, more demanding, and more alive.

It is ideal for secondary teachers, middle leaders, instructional coaches, school leaders, teacher educators, and curriculum designers.

If you want students to do more than receive and repeat, if you want them to investigate, reflect, apply, revise, and grow, this book will help you build the conditions for learning that is not merely delivered, but lived.
