 INSTRUCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY: LEARNING-CENTERED CLASSROOM

Three themes of the Learning-Centered Classroom

    • High Challenge
    • Active Learning
    • Diversified Instruction

 Strategies that Promote Learning-Centered Classroom Practice:

High Challenge

  • Raise expectations for all students
  • Identify standards, benchmarks, performance activities and assessments for student achievement in the written curriculum document
  • Use new research that delineates new strategies that help underachieving students learn curriculum material at grade level expectation
  • Promote higher level thinking skills through curriculum that is based on inquiry, problem-solving, and application of key knowledge, issues, and conceptsProvide opportunities for enrichment

Active Learning 

  • Emphasize that the process of acquiring knowledge and the development of concepts, skills, and attitudes are of fundamental importance.
  • Design learning experiences that include opportunities for cooperative learning and for individual inquiry
  • Design interdisciplinary curriculum opportunities so that students can understand the connections in the knowledge they are learning to other fields and to real-world applications
  • Use technology to explore knowledge, to conduct investigations and to produce products

 Diversified Instruction                                

 Teach using a variety of strategies and approaches.

  • Use flexible grouping
  • Use assessment to understand student needs and design responsive instruction
  • Compact the curriculum for advanced students and provide extended learning opportunities
  • Use technology to create a learning environment that is responsive to different learning needs
  • Design school schedules so that they maximize opportunities for active learning and diversified instruction.
