  11. Active Learning How to utilize your classroom to engage students

  12. “Students are not empty vessels.” ~ John Dewey 1916 • Knowledge is constructed, not absorbed • The one thing we can not do for our students in the classroom is…. LEARN!

A LEARNER-CENTERED CLASSROOM Allows students to : • Break down their own misconceptions • Relate material to things they already know • Gauge their progress along the way • Start to think about how they think • Learn for the sake of learning • Think Critically The one who does is the one who learns!
