Abstract :
SEED (System of Entrepreneurialism and Economic Development) is an evidence-based co-curricular learning environment. This paper provides an overview of the SEED process, three of the core areas of learning theory on which it is based (holistic learner development, mentoring, and authentic learning contexts), and how the learning theories are applied in the implementation of SEED.
