A friend was applying to be a guide for a high alpine mountain climbing position.
He had never taken a course on mountain climbing.
The company asked him for his resume.
He had climbed or attempted to climb Mt Everest (successfully three times) K2, Lotse, and most of the 8000 plus meter family of mountains.
He got the job.

"We learn by doing..."
Pretty well every human activity is learned by doing. Babes learn to walk by trial and error. No text book is available. Riding a bike, driving a car or making a cake...were all learned by doing. It is fair to say that this applied learning model has been around for awhile and has a pretty good track record.

Each episode Ms Valerie Frizzle...The Frizz would take her class on exciting field trips where students would experience the real world. Equally important was her comment and constant reminder to her students to "take chances, make mistakes and get messy."
This is how learning is done. This is how we embrace learning at Maveriks University. Lets take chances, make mistakes and get messy together!
