The Expeditionary Learning Model

The Expeditionary Learning (EL) Model is an educational approach that emphasizes active, real-world learning through projects and explorations. It encourages students to engage deeply with challenges that connect to their community and the broader world, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Instead of just learning facts, students experience hands-on activities, reflect on their work, and develop a sense of ownership over their learning. The goal is to create a meaningful and motivating environment where students learn by doing, which helps prepare them for real-life situations and inspires a lifelong love of learning.
