Explores the limitations of current assessment and teaching practices, after which learners apply Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) science, the Understanding by Design (UbD) framework to develop an Experiential Learning (EXL) plan for deeper learning at the classroom, school, or district level.

Learners share their EXL plan with relevant stakeholders and incorporate feedback.
