"I work alongside them to explore the essential questions that guide our
thematic units. I cant wait to introduce them to characters in
literature and rediscover those literary figures through their
experiences. I model what it means to construct your own meaning, and
then support them as they learn to take intellectual risks. In short, I

We need to not only construct learner-centered classrooms where disciplines collapse, where ideas flourish, where learning becomes relevant to students; we also need to be prepared to re-envision what a learner-centered classroom can look like in the 21st century. We must create the kinds of worthy learning experiences that drive students to become critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and innovators. We must create environments where the consumers of our curriculums become the designers of their own learning."
