<p>As we consider how we are preparing our students for careers that increasingly depend upon resilience, teamwork, and the integration of knowledge domains, how do we cultivate learning cultures that transcend the constraints of curricular structures and that
value uncertainty as a crucial component of learning? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This presentation explores how we might design high impact learning experiences to foster iterative reflection for deep understanding and experiential thinking. The social construction of knowledge and understanding is a critically important consideration
as we explore the power of learning communities and the choices students make when experiencing new and unfamiliar situations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This presentation builds on our Teaching and Learning Conference Theme, <strong>
‘Making Teaching and Learning Visible,’</strong> and continues our discussions related to
