The National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE), a professional association
for practitioners of experiential learning, has developed the following set of guidelines
referred to as "Principles of Good Practice."
Intention - Determine what specific learning is intended as a result of the experience.
Clarity - Communicate goals, protocols and procedures among all stakeholders.
Monitoring and Assessment - Establish processes that define each person's role, expected outcomes, and evaluation
measures.
Reflection - Analyze activities and learning against the outcome measures established at the
beginning of the experience.
Evaluation - Clarify the evaluation role of student, faculty, and site supervisor.
Acknowledgement - Celebrate the experiential learning experience.

During the Spring 2009 semester, Erica Christensen completed her internship with the Air Policy Office at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). "I was so lucky with my placement because I was able to experience the changes made by President Obama and witness the growing developments of climate policy. I learned more than I could have imagined and made great connections." She has also completed an unpaid internship with a political campaign and had a paid summer position with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. Christensen plans to attend graduate school for global environmental policy or sustainability.
