This video from the Edutopia Schools That Work series shows student-centered learning at work at Maloney High School in Meriden Public Schools in CT. Teachers discuss their role as facilitators and detail how student-centered learning tactics are used in their classrooms. These include:
- Collaborative group work
- Student choice
- Inquiry-based activities
- Authentic tasks
Powerful images and voices of students engaged in learning illustrate how each of these tactics comes to life in 12th-grade science and ELA classrooms. This visual of student-centered learning in action could be used as a discussion starter with a teacher team or shown to community and family members to gain support for school change.
