Examples of Student Centered Learning


 * Arranging the classroom in different ways can help transform a student centered classroom. Having students desks in a large circle can help encourage large group discussions among students. Having student desks arranged into small pods can help encourage small group discussions among students.
 * Allowing students the freedom of choice in the classroom can help develop student centered learning practices. Having students choose their own novels to read during small reading groups is one example of listening to student interest
 * Allow students to guide the class discussion without fear of giving the right or wrong answer. Have a classroom discussion or debate that allows for all sides of the conversation to be heard.
 * Allow students to choose their own groups for a group project, give them choices as to how they might show their evidence of learning.

These ideas are cited using sources that are already found in the article, but I am unsure how to cite them using the same numbers as in the article in the sandbox. When they are moved into the main article the citation numbers will need to be fixed. Number 1 is actually number 8. Number 2 is actually number 13.
