The Curriculum needs to be changed to include experiential pedagogical approaches to fascilitate learners increasing their knowledge and engagement in science and support the teachers in this process. Standards 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.3

Studies have shown that experiential pedagogical approaches positively affect learners' engagement and knowledge in science. We need to know our students and develop pedagogies based on how they best learn. Standards 1.1, 1.2

For experiential pedagogies to work teachers need support and tools from the government and their peers to be successful. Building professional development around experiential approaches will normalize it and increase the resources available. Standards 2.1, 3.3, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.4

Using pedagogical approaches will mean that there needs to be a change in assessment practices to make it more applicable to what the students were learning and continue to assess what is and is not working. Standards 1.2, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5

The education system needs to review international research in educational approaches and how it has impacted students and conduct more studies in Australian schools. Standards 1.2, 3.6, 5.4

By using experiential pedagogical approaches teachers will be offering students who are underrepresented in science an opportunity to increase their confidence and likelihood of following this career path. Standards 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 4.1
