The future of education will require new school models, new approaches for teaching and learning, and innovative leaders who can create the conditions for meaningful change. Shifting from a teacher-centered to a learner-centric model is incredibly challenging. Learner-centric environments require everyone in the school community to embrace a paradigm shift. Catalyzing this shift requires a clear vision for learning, collaboration to support the work, and intentionally using resources and tools to tackle the change process.
The paradigm shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered emphasizes students’ critical role in their own learning. Educators must implement a learner-centric framework for planning and teaching that helps students become more aware of their thinking and take agency of their learning. Technology is used to support this framework explicitly and implicitly. Students use tools to dive more deeply into their learning; educators use tools to facilitate an interdisciplinary, multi-modal approach to learning.
In this session attendees will examples and advice from panelists working within existing systems to shift practices and create learner-centered environments, and who are leveraging technology to address the needs of all their learners.
