Applied Learning fundamentally changes the way students engage with content, the way teachers engage with students, and the way that students work with one another.

Applied Learning has five features:

Poses meaningful real world problems
Pairs knowledge & soft skills
Requires iteration & persistence
Prioritizes collaboration & communication
Provides a professional lens

... works for all students

By using real world problems to make the subject matter relatable, all students become active, hypothesis driven, persistent learners. There is no mystery to why Applied Learning works - solving real problems is more engaging and relevant than memorizing content.

The Impact of Applied Learning

... sets an ambitious vision

Applied Learning puts students in the driver’s seat, building true understanding through active discovery. Students collaborate and iterate to answer real-world questions, making their learning more authentic. It is an effective way to shift the cognitive load to students.

... is doable
