Initial Response/Brainstorm based on Zull Chapter 2

Experiential Learning (Student Centered/Active Learning): Teacher is only the sensory input, providing the concrete experience.

*Major reform is needed in educational assessments.  If the brain comprehends via experiential learning, how can prompts and worksheets truly assess for learning? 

*Teachers should provide opportunities for students to utilize all learning cycle stages. At my three schools, very few teachers allow for student experimentation/testing of abstract hypotheses, much less scaffolding students to construct a hypothesis.

*Finally, the science to back up the data on experiential learning and evaluation systems like COMPASS!
