Student-Centered The focus is on what STUDENTS do, not what the teacher is doing. It is about the LEARNING. Students will be involved in more authentic tasks that are challenging and provide experiences that lead to holistic learning.
Cognitive This is about the RIGOR - higher-order, conceptual learning. This represents the THINKING required by the standards. Learning causes students to construct their thinking according to their developmental stage. When they can reflect upon and express this, their thinking is made visible and teachers can better assess their levels of cognition to determine necessary scaffolding.
Interactive This is about the dynamics and structures of the class, as well as the locus of control. Teachers empower students to be more accountable for their own learning and provide opportunities for sociable collaboration that allows students to interact not only with each other, but with their own learning.
Best-practice strategies and structures Robert Marzano and John Hattie have both done extensive work in determining what effect certain teaching strategies and structures have on learning. How much do we know about these best-practice strategies and structures?
