The Student-Centered Classroom

The student-centered classroom: Transforming your teaching and grading practices lays out six practices that will help F–12 teachers create an effective and immensely satisfying student-centred environment in any classroom, no matter the grade level or content area.

By embracing this approach, teachers will increase their ability to fulfill school’s most enduring promise: to give each student a fair chance to grow up literate and open minded.
