This transcript of an interview with Brenda Vogds, (former)Leader of Personalized Learning and Innovation for the secondary schools in the district, explores how the district worked to bring educators into the process and nurture the development of a learner-centered approach.

Staff at the school use this self-reflection tool to look at themselves on a continuum of skills that are required for a teacher-centered versus learner-centered classroom.

This interview with Shelby Jacobson, a high school senior, brings to life a student’s experience in a learner-centered environment.
