The Learner-Centered Classroom
Here are a few of the questions author Jeannette Campos suggests asking yourself to effectively create a learner-centered classroom:
As an instructor, am I encouraging interaction among my learners whenever possible? Is my content formatted in the most engaging way? Have I created opportunities for the learner to reflect on the learning process?
Only in a learner-centered classroom can you foster the four types of learning relationships: learner-to-instructor, learner-to-content, learner-to-learner, and learner-to-self.
