Learner Centered ClassroomRecently, my colleagues and I were challenged to start a classroom with 7th graders to shift toward Learner Centered Practices and Learner Centered Practices.
@gauchobrad and I focused on empowering our students with the learning process. Click here to view presentation. What CAN the students do? Moving away from the Teacher Doing. EducationReimagined.

Instead of I as the teacher chose, how about students choose?...Empower students to advocate, to do, to personalize, and to access what intrinsically motivates learning! |
Setting A Foundation Toward the Learning ProcessIf students are to learn, they have to be empowered HOW to learn. Classrooms need to be designed so students can have resources and pathways to access what they need. Such resources require time for feedback, reflection and refinement. Learning is not a "one and done" process or product.

Innovation is not about Technology!Technology is not the Why behind education. It is a component that supports the How. Innovation is about tweaking, blending, and smashing to target the learners in the classroom.
