The OT education at Pace University reflects the profession's vision, values, and beliefs. We believe that all individuals have an innate need to engage in occupations (Christiansen & Townsend, 2010; AOTA, 2014). Occupations are meaningful and everyday activities that we do to occupy our time such as Activities of Daily Living, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Rest & Sleep, Education, Work, Play, Leisure, and Social Participation. Occupations can occur in a variety of contexts including physical, social, cultural, personal, and virtual contexts (AOTA, 2014). Participation in meaningful occupations is considered the determinant of health and through engagement in occupations, the individuals can maintain a sense of purpose in life (AOTA, 2011; AOTA, 2014). Our beliefs about how students learn are as follows (Driscoll, 2014; Knowles, Swanson, & Holton, 2011):
