Student-centered learning has been defined most simply as an approach to learning in which learners choose not only what to study but also how and why that topic might be of interest. This is terrifying for some teachers. Giving up control…yikes, scary for sure. But what if you could find a way to balance teacher-led instruction while implementing a student-centered approach? That is what this workshop intends to help you learn and do for your classroom.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- a basic principle of learning science
- the power of prior schema
- about velcro moments
- how to address the disconnects
