Introduction to Active Learning

Active learning is an instructional approach that encourages students to actively participate in their own learning process. In this episode, Dr. Colin Roche explains why this is important and shares some of the techniques he has used to engage his culinary students in meaningful ways to enhance their learning experience.

Chef Roche also mentions the book "Active Learning: 101 Strategies to Teach Any Subject" by Mel Silberman (https://amzn.to/3XxgjXk), which is a comprehensive collection of active learning techniques to help enliven any subject in high school, college, or the adulty classroom!

CULINARY EDUCATORS’ BOOK: To get even more information on a wide variety of teaching topics, be sure to check out the book Dr. Roche co-wrote titled "Culinary Educators' Teaching Tools and Tips", which is published by Kendall Hunt (https://he.kendallhunt.com/product/culinary-educators-teaching-tools-and-tips).
