7. In our schools and classrooms Instruction
should be:
Student-Centered
In order to contribute to society, students
will need to be able to acquire new
information as problem arise. They need
to connect the new information with the
knowledge they already have and apply it
to solving the problem at hand.
In this classroom model, the teacher
would act as facilitator for the students.
Students gather information on their own,
under the guidance of their teacher.
8. Education should be:
Collaborative
• Students should learn how to recognize
the different strengths and talents each
person can bring to a project, and change
roles depending on those attributes.
• Students should be encouraged to work
together to discover information, piece it
together, and construct meaning.
9. Learning should have:
Context
• The teacher can make a point of helping
students to understand how the skills they
are building can be applied in their lives.
• Students will be much more motivated to
learn something that they can see the
value in.
