Real-world connections make all the difference in the classroom. Even though our goal is always to give students the experience outside of the classroom, we strive to create opportunities for real-world learning inside of the classroom as well. Learn more about elements of experiential learning and how you can strengthen your project-based learning by incorporating outside experiences.
Objectives
After this session, the attendee will be able to:
- Understand what experiential learning is and how it is growing at the post-secondary level
- Strengthen their classroom activities through real-world influences and engagement

Michele Leonardo, started her career in Human Resources working with employee onboarding and designing training for organizational development. I decided to pursue Business Education and I have been working in education for about 8 years. I hold certifications in Business Education, Work-Based Learning, Educational Technology, and School Building Leader. I recently completed my Master’s in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I am very passionate about representing Business Education and Work-Based Learning in the field of Career and Technical Education. I have been a representative of Business Education as a participant in the Leadership Fellows Program at both the state and national levels with NYSACTE and ACTE. I serve as a board member for LIBTA (a division of BTANYS), NYSCREA and NYSACTE and I genuinely enjoy the collaborative nature of educators working together to meet common goals. I thrive on learning and imparting the knowledge I have gained to others.
