-Not an anything goes philosophy
-Teachers together with Colleagues, state standards, determine what it is studnets will learn

-It is the learner who does the learning

-Students will understand differently based on their cognirive structures, knowldge and experiences

-Engage students

Constructivist teaching takes more time because students require more time to explore rather than just being told about something

-Teachers must be selective on what to teach because of the time it takes in developing understanding of the topic with students

-Teaching focuses on designing activities and assignments

-Students are intellectually  active  in their learning by discussing, debating,  answering what if questions.
