Welcome to this year’s Experiential Learning Leadership Institute Conference!
Members of the conference planning committee stand ready to assist to help make your time here enjoyable and worthwhile. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
This presentation aims to join the theoretic fields of service learning, experiential learning, and gifted education. Although these fields are similar in scope and purpose, little research has been done to positively link the realms of service learning and experiential learning with gifted education. Gifted education requires an environment of affective safety in order to thrive; yet, many gifted programs fail to implement experiential learning as a valid way to meet these environmental needs. This presentation will explore strategies related to the affective realm of service learning.
