Experiential Learning to me is the way to bring about success. The only ways to find out answers are through experience. It is imperative that every day, you have to go through a certain experience to make yourself better. Success is derived from failure. If I did not know what failure was, then how I could know how it felt to be successful? Whether it's socially, cognitively, or psychomotor, you might fail more times than someone but you will continue to strive to be successful. Experiential learning comes from one's past experiences into present success.
This struggle mentality validates the assumptions that life is hard and you have to work hard to get make ends meet or to get ahead. It places the under-achiever in declivity while setting the high performance achiever up for burnout. This struggle mentality is a sickness that is perpetuated by both the unsuccessful and the successful. There is a high price attached to success that is adrenaline-based; there is this unending pressure to go faster, work harder, jump higher, sleep less, and do more. This model of success is very unattractive, very expensive, and is simply a more glamorous form of failure.
The high performance achiever may be relentless at first, but eventually as the burn intensifies, they begin to ask themselves, "Is this all there is?" There is a better way that leads to success that can be achieved and sustained without amputating other important aspects of yourself and your life. Steven Lane Taylor, author of the book Row, Row, Row Your Boat; A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow", suggests that we can intentionally tap into the flow of life's benevolent energy. When we do, we begin to move gently toward our goals instead of racing past them like an Olympic runner being chased by a herd of frightened elephants. The high performance achiever is often the one who is most at risk in becoming trapped in the work harder, faster, longer paradigm.
Many of my clients are so happy to discover a greater awareness of their thoughts so that they can attract more of what they want, and less of what they don't want. It may sound simple to put this into action, and don't get me wrong, it can be, but it's very easy to slip back into old ways of thinking that you're used to.
Physical Education/coaches will teach kids how to apply situations to real life events. There are varieties of variables that coexist within a team/group. A class like physical education develops a group of students that might know each other become a unit to solve a problem. It is a program that teaches student's about the true character of others but more importantly, this program teaches students to learn about themselves.
WHO DO STUDENTS REMEMBER THE MOST? Answer: Physical Educators. Unfortunately in schools, physical education is last on the list as importance but first on the list of fun things to do in school. Even though boys and girls might not enjoy doing yoga as a lesson, at the end of the day they know that it's better than sitting in a class and learning about General Robert E Lee's plan about the battle of irrelevant. They remember physical educators because Student's actually get to converse with their teacher during the lesson instead of sitting there and listening (interaction).Students receive praise based on the ability of a motor skill (rewards).There active and play sports (fun).They stay awake in school (heart rate), and last
Physical Educators are the most approachable because they can't communicate by a textbook or a power point. The only teachers a student is going to remember from grades K-12 outside of physical education are teachers that coached you or another sport, or gave you a recommendation, or gave you life advice, good-looking, or was the worst teacher of all time. If someone asked me to name my physical educators from K-12, I could tell you all of them or at least 10 of them in one breathe. Point is I find it amazing that physical education is low of totem pole when they are remembered the most and looked at the most by students. Fun is magic. When you are happy, people will smile. When you are nice, people gravitate. When fun, people are will follow you anywhere.
