  1. Teachers as the Gatekeepers

  2. How many of you have done a… • Think Pair Share • Jigsaw • 3-2-1 • Found Poem • K-W-L • RAFT • Read Aloud • Two Column Notes • Journals • Wraparound • Silent Conversation/Big Paper

  3. Student Centered Learning

  4. Fancy-Pants Definition • Student-Centered Learning represents both a mindset and a culture within a given higher education institution and is a learning approach which is broadly related to, and supported by, constructivist theories of learning. It is characterized by innovative methods of teaching which aim to promote learning in communication with teachers and other learners and which take students seriously as active participants in their own learning , fostering transferable skills such as problem-solving , critical thinking and reflective thinking

  5. Less Fancy Pants • Student-Centered Learning a mindset/culture promoting learning and communication between teachers and learners as well as • Getting students to be active participants in learning transferable skills such as problem-solving , critical thinking and reflective thinking

  6. Teacher Centered • Low Student Choice • Passive Students • Teacher has holder of power/knowledge

  7. Student Centered • High Student Choice • Active students • Students empowerment

  8. C.C.R. • Choice • Collaboration • Reflection

  9. Choice

  10. Benefits of Choice • Student Control • Buy-In /Purpose • Differentiated Instruction

  11. What are you trying to teach? • Choice asks you to examine what you are actually trying to get the students to walk away with each lesson. • Does it need to be an essay? Can It be a graphic novel? Newspaper article? Advertisement? Etc.

  12. Flipped Classroom • Deliver instruction at home (videos, tutorials, etc.) • Students do the practice, work, simulation, lab • Can’t flip the classroom? Flip a lesson.

  13. Project Based Learning vs. Problem Based Learning

  14. Closures/Exit Slip • If Flipping the Classroom and PBL doesn’t seem feasible – start small. • Give them options for a closure • Create: flash cards, comic strip, poster • Write: paragraph, story, dialogue

  15. Collaboration

  16. Benefits of Collaboration • Intrapersonal skills • Problem Solving/Critical Thinking • More Feedback

  17. Using Collaboration in the Classroom • Teaching the Skill - Start Small • Marshmallow Challenge • Bridge the Gap • Your Job – observe + take notes • Deliver Feedback – Rinse and Repeat.

  18. Holding Students Accountable Roles and Rubrics Grading on the process Treat each step as part of the grade. Check In Meeting Deadlines Product Reflections • Roles • Clearly defined roles help especially if students are being individually graded • Rubric • Provide a transparent rubric at the beginning of the assignment/project – that way it can be referenced in the check-in/grading/ reflection

  19. Examples • Ed Café – students run their own workshops • Case Study- provide data for students and have them analyze it as a group • Project/Problem Based Learning – Over a period of time (week/unit) students are creating a product as a group.

  20. Reflection

  21. Benefits of Reflection • “Metacognition” - gets students thinking about how they think/learn. • Identifies strengths/weaknesses in students we can target in the future. • Student Reflection  Self Evaluation  Peer Evaluation

  22. Examples • Short Term - • What? So What? Now What? • What did we just do? Why do we care? How can we apply this in the future? • Long Term - Forcing them to use the reflection in a real way • Writing assignment where they need to use this entry to create a prompt • Research Paper based on reflection/journal • Use the reflection to help them study/create a study guide for their next test
