  • Emphasis on project-based, interdisciplinary learning
  • Deep connection between curriculum and student interests
  • Meaningful feedback platforms for students

In student-centered learning, students’ interest drives education. Student-centered learning gives students the opportunity to decide two things: what material they learn and how they learn it.

  • Description: Have students fill in bingo slots with different descriptions that could describe their classmates. Write several on the board to help students who have a difficult time thinking of ideas. (For example- red hair, white sneakers, lived in (town/state) for more than a year, ate a sandwich this week). Once all students complete their bingo sets, they go around the room asking their classmates and teacher if a description applies to them. If it does, the classmate or teacher signs their name in that slot. Once a student (or whichever number set by teacher or students) fills one or two lines, they yell "BINGO!" and win the game.
  • Application: This is a great exercise for a new class so that students can get to know each other while taking charge of what they would like to know about their new classmates.

  • Description: Students write their ideas or questions on a piece of paper. Then they roll up the paper into a ball (snowball), and on the teacher or a student's count everyone throw's their snowball! After each student picks up one snowball until everyone has one in their hand. It's ok if the student happens to pick up their snowball. Then have students share what is written on their paper.
  • Application: The snowball method could be used when studying any Literature by having students share their ideas or questions in a large group or in smaller groups. It can also be applied to other subjects that might could use student's inputs to promote active learning and/or sharing different knowledge and perspectives.

  • Book Choice(2) – allowing the students to choose which books they would like to read from a specific genre that is being studied in class. This is based on them evaluating all books available and making their own choice.  
  • Book Clubs(2) – grouping students in small groups to read the same book which allows for small group discussion led by the students. Look at bullet point 1, book choice is also involved in the book clubs as the students are choosing their own texts to read. 
  • Conferencing(2) - asking the students directly what reading strategies they are using in their note taking. They get to guide the conversation. 
  • Disciplinary Literacy Approach (3)  – avoid using textbooks and instead choose actual texts from the field.

    - Introduce the concept of shapes to students making sure to discuss each shape name and what it looks like.
    - Model how you can create a shape or phonics letter with your body using volunteers from the classroom.
    - Provide students a picture reference and ask them to create a shape like a triangle or a letter C. Make sure the first shape created is easy, so they don’t get frustrated. This provides them an opportunity to collaborate with one another.
    - For older students, this method can apply to them. When they are learning about population density, having the students get super close to each other, and then they move apart to indicate a shift from a densely populated area to a more rural area.

    - Using their body's activity can help students awaken in class and feel involved. Also, this physical movement will be able to communicate more with others.

  • Description: After students read a book or any literature, have them reenact meaningful scenes with either a short movie, in person skit, musical, mime, or interpretative dance. This will work best in small or medium sized groups. 
  • Application: This learning technique can be applied to other subjects such as a historical reenactment. It allows students to choose and share what was important to them and also add their perspective and interpretations.

For ex., SeeSaw works great for early years learners and OneNote for upper-elementary students.

    Grouping and rotations: Divide students in small groups according to their abilities and interests. Run book clubs in Grades 2-5 where students take on different roles (illustrator, scribe, etc.) and rotate every week. Rotations between stations with learning letters and sounds activities, sight words games, and independent and reading to a friend setups can be used in classrooms with emergent readers. 

    Fluency evaluation: The Fluency Self-Evaluation Assessment strategy invites students to audio record themselves reading to listen to the recording later to evaluate their fluency in a safe and supported environment.

    Variety of reading materials: Students should be given opportunities to pick books that interest them. Classroom and school library have to offer great selection of topics, genres and reading levels. Giving access to an audiobook library is another great strategy. This way students can listen to the recording and follow the script with their eyes which will also help develop their writing skills.

    Reading Journals: keeping notes on what you read and your thoughts about the text can be a powerful technique. Students can include their summaries, illustrations, favorite citations, and other ways to demonstrate their reading comprehension.

    Differentiation through teams:
    You can differentiate grouping by reading level, collaboration skills, social-emotional skills, and passions. 

    Mini-lessons and centers:
    You can set up the classroom with various centers/stations for learning with mini lessons or resources, that they can navigate through based on their ability and spend the amount of time that works best for them on each. You can offer a variety of resources at each, such as games, videos, and readings. Alternatively, you can give the mini lessons to the members of the class that need it, while the others go through the resources/ stations at there own pace.·     

    Students choose their own final products: Allow students to have a say in their final products, and this gives them the ability to utilize their individual passions and voices.

    Differentiation in  formative assesments: Assesments don’t need to look the same for all students. You can choose based on the students needs, some examples are an oral conference, a series of written responses, a graphic organizer or collage.

    What you do: give them an assignment, they peer grade it, based on the marks they get they do a subsequent assignment:
    • If the assignment is scored out of 10 marks: 
      •  1-3 marks: the next assignment will focus on basics and make sure they understand material
      •  4-7 marks: next assignment should be something that further develops understanding
      • 8-10 marks: next assignment should be something that pusheshat understanding

    Student-centred assessment embodies sound assessment practices that can be incorporated into any educational setting but are especially critical in student- centred learning contexts, where active engagement in learning and responsibility for the management of learning are core assumptions (Lea, Stephenson, & Troy 2003).

    Like any good assessment, student-centred assessment articulates appropriately challenging and developmentally appropriate learning targets. It also provides feedback to students, teachers, districts, and states about how to deepen learning. It is valid and reliable for the given context, and it is practicable and efficient (McMillan 2011). 
    Our vision of student-centred assessment has several additional defining qualities. It is: 
    • Individualised;
    • Focused on learning and growth;
    • Motivating;
    • Amenable to actively engaging students in the regulation of their own learning; and
    • Informative and useful to a variety of audiences.

    We assess students to understand what they have acquired from our instruction. The purpose of formative assessment is to adapt and accommodate our instruction based on student needs and readiness, to determine if we have achieved our goals and whether we can continue or should reteach the language . ]]>     2022-02-21 08:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/danielposch1/zmaee97i1foqnf3q/wish/2058307438     lanzhang https://padlet.com/danielposch1/zmaee97i1foqnf3q/wish/2058330534 Formative student-centred assessment at the classroom level
    The purpose of classroom-based assessment in a balanced, student-centred system is to provide timely information to students and teachers about where students are in their learning, what gaps in knowledge and understanding exist, and how teachers and students can work to deepen learning (Perie, Marion, & Gong 2009). Particularly student-centred forms of classroom assessment include self- and peer assessment, process portfolios, and formative tests.

    The purpose of self-assessment is to identify areas of strength and weakness in one’s work in order to make improvements and promote learning, achievement, and self-regulation . 
    Effective self-assessment involves at least three steps: 
    1. Articulate performance targets. 
    2. Checking progress toward the targets. 
    3. Revision.

    The purpose of peer assessment is for learners to provide feedback to one another on the quality of a product or performance . 
    Topping (2010) argues that effective peer assessment involves the following steps: 
    1. Students and teachers co-create assessment criteria
    2. Peers are placed into pairs or small groups based on similar ability levels.
    3. The teacher provides training by modelling how to assess a piece of work using explicit criteria. 
    4. Students get a checklist with peer assessment guidelines. 
    5. The activity to be assessed and timeline are specified. 
    6. The teacher monitors the progress of the peer assessment groups.
    7. The quality of the feedback is examined.
    8. Reliability is checked by comparing teacher- and peer-generated feedback. 
    9. The teacher provides feedback to the students about the effectiveness of their assessments.

    An academic portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work that includes student involvement in its construction and student reflection on its contents (Belgrad, Burke, & Fogarty 2008).
    The purpose is to scaffold student reflection and self-regulated learning, as well as to provide nuanced information-about a student’s knowledge, dispositions, motivations, and needs-that can help teachers, students, and parents make decisions.
    There are two general categories of portfolios: those that showcase a student’s best work; and those that demonstrate growth and learning over time (Brookhart 2008). Barrett (2007) describes the value of electronic portfolios, or e-portfolios, that harness technology to enable archiving, linking, storytelling, collaborating, and publishing. Electronic portfolios use computers and/or the Internet as a container, allowing students to collect and organise their portfolio materials in audio, video, graphics, and text.

  • Students drive their own learning. [2]
  • Students work with other students to answer questions and support each other's progress. [2]
  • Not every student has to perform the same tasks or have the same responsibilities, students are allowed more freedom to personalize their own experience. [2]
  • Students are given small manageable tasks that, when combined with the efforts of other students solve much more complex problems. 
  • Group goals. Students encourage each other and as a team evaluate what they are doing well and what needs to be improved. [5]

[3] 

    One element of many modern educational theories is their student-centered focus, where students play a much more active role in their own learning. This involves individual participation but also interaction and support within groups. Collaborative learning doesn't have a specific group size requirement, nor does it have to take place within the confines of the classroom. However, research seems to show that its use in the classroom promotes the development of critical thinking, communication, and social skills. [5]

    1.) Focused listing where students break into groups to define or describe things. [5]
    2.) Group writing assignments where they work together to author a paper or document. [5]
    3.) Jigsaw Stations where every student "takes responsibility for" a specific knowledge section of an assignment and then applies it to the larger group project. [3]
    4.) Flipped classrooms where new material is presented to students outside of the classroom, and multiple collaborative techniques and approaches are then used during class time.

This could happen unintentionally and may be caused by a range of factors. Students who struggle academically or don't understand the subject, as well as other group members, may need to be watched over with extra care to ensure that their collaborative groups are promoting learning rather than detracting from it.

When doing group work/projects, some students try to take advantage of the situation to engage in non-academic activities that they find more enjoyable, others complain of group pairings, and others can be resistant to the idea at all, for a myriad of reasons. However, through careful planning, encouragement, and long-term implementation, I have found that it really can provide many of the benefits talked about. My point in saying this is while I believe that student-centered collaborative learning is something we should use in all of our classrooms, it is not always easy to implement, and I personally would encourage others to think of it as a process to implement rather than an action that can be worked to completion in a day. ]]> 2022-02-21 14:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/danielposch1/zmaee97i1foqnf3q/wish/2058889861 Sources arthurwallis https://padlet.com/danielposch1/zmaee97i1foqnf3q/wish/2058890131 1  Flipped Classroom Photo https://unsplash.com/@awcreativeut

  • Employ homogenous teams to differentiate.
  • Students with similar vocabulary, speaking, reading, or writing levels can be put together to give each student a chance to shine.
  • Students with similar interests can share what they are excited about in an activity.
  • Students who are quiet might be paired with those who also have a more subdued approach, while students who are extroverted and energetic can be teamed up to play off each others' energy.
  • Students with artistic abilities might approach a project an entirely different way from a group who are more skilled at writing, or another who is more interested in acting and performance.

Students access content without respect to their peers and can create their own learning schedule and use their own tools in their own self-organized space. Some of teaching methods are flipped classroom, PBL, mastery - based learning.
    Activities for asynchronous learners:

  • Depending on the age of the students, during projects, after units, or at different liminal stages the students can be asked to self-reflect on what they have learned and what they would like to learn.
  • The teacher can then use that information to add to future lessons or review what is needed to know. 
  • Goal setting can be implemented in the classroom, as a personal benchmark for the students; a self-administered milestone. This could be as simple as "I want to finish Unit 3 with good grades", or as specific as "I want to be able to talk about basketball entirely in Spanish."

    - Low-stakes and just-in-time formative assessments which are ungraded should be used to gauge the content knowledge/skills the student is lacking, thereby, helping create a more student-centered learning environment. 
    - Flipped classroom model can also help create a more student-centered learning environment. Using embedded questions in instructional videos which are ungraded encourage students to learn from their mistakes without the fear of failure. This low-stakes formative assessment is just-in-time for teachers to scaffold on areas of weakness of the students tailoring the classroom to the needs of individual students.

    Furniture -     Designate an area for students to keep backpacks and jackets out of the way.

    Materials - Have something for students to do if they finish their work early.

    Activities - Making space for group activities.

As an intuitice example, if you look at the picture, you can see that ALL the students are challenging themselves. The task was to do a plank, but in the picture, you can see some students struggling, some are doing the standard 'plank', and some are doing a 'one-handed plank.' Teaching students through the leveled system allows students of all proficiencies to be practicing the same skill at the same time. 
    Other methods to make the activities student centered is to have a group of students demonstrate/instruct, and have stations with different activities for learning/practicing the same skills, modifications of this can be have students of similar skill levels to different activities.

Project Based Learning nicholasvetri https://padlet.com/danielposch1/zmaee97i1foqnf3q/wish/2062274235 Project Based Learning

    "    Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge."
    https://www.pblworks.org/what-is-pbl

    Project-based learning has students working as a team to solve challenging and interesting questions. It makes students  hone their creativity, social skills, and problem solving skills. 

    This method allows for students to work independently, with little oversight, and can be very interesting and motivating for students if done correctly. It also helps students develop deep and lasting understanding of the subjects they work on.

    This fascinating article explores how teachers can prepare students to fight climate change by seeing it as the ultimate collaborative project.

    It talks about using collaborative projects based around several difficult issues facing the world to get students really thinking about climate change. 

    Two interesting ideas for central questions on which to base projects are:
    1. There’s What in My Water?!: How safe is my [water, air, soil, food]?
    2. Shrinking Our Footprints: How can we use data to reduce our families’ impact on the environment? 

    Using these real challenges as projects can get a genuine response from students and give them a sense of urgency and importance.

In large groups some students will tend to shirk their responsibilties. So, in my opinion it's better to have groups that are kind of small. In my classes I like to have groups of 2-4 students for collaboration. 

    In my spoken English classes in the university level, I have had the best results when I let students work with friends and people they are familiar with. Of course, not everyone has classes where the students have known each other for a long time, but in my classes each group of students has the exact same schedule throughout their undergraduate studies, so they all know who they can get along with well. 

    In these small groups where students are already friends, they hold each other accountable, and really enjoy doing the work together. Of course it helps that these students are English majors and for the most part are really intrinsically motivated to improve their English.

    I also prefer to break up projects into small pieces and go over each piece sequentially. This lets students know that each piece of the project will be reviewed, and it also helps make the instructions clearer in ESL classes. ]]>     2022-02-23 10:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/danielposch1/zmaee97i1foqnf3q/wish/2062313740     Collaborative Learnig as a Way to Improve Student Agency- “it taught me an important lesson; if you are willing to step back, students will produce amazing things.” nicholasvetri https://padlet.com/danielposch1/zmaee97i1foqnf3q/wish/2062344126 https://www.pblworks.org/blog/building-culture-student-agency

    This article talks about how two teachers at the Thomas Edison CTE Higschool in Jamaica, New York used project-based learning in their social-studies classes, and the amazing results students had by being in charge of their education. 

    In one class students created their own class charter which centered around the project of  "helping an all-girls school in Pakistan address fluctuating power disruptions by building the school solar panels."

    The collaboration was expanded to let students take turns being co-teachers. The co-teachers would work with teachers to give feedback, and ideas on teaching method, as well as work with students to provide extra instruction and feedback.  

    Eventually as the result of these methods student engagement increased dramatically, problem students started participating in the class, and a dramatic increase of test scores, with 80% of students passing the AP history exam.
