Learner-Centered Teaching: Five Key Changes to Practice

Based on the readings from Part 2 and Chapter 8 of Learner-Centered Teaching: Five Key Changes to Practice, specifically on “[w]hat needs to change and still has not” (Weimer, 2013, p. 144), write a 1- to 2-page (250–500 words) paper. In your paper, reflect on how your learning this week has challenged any previous assumptions you had about learner-centered curriculum. Provide specific examples. You may want to focus on any two of the following concepts:

· Independent, self-directed, and self-regulated learners

· Motivation

· Active learning

· Problem-based learning

· Process-oriented learning

· Peer-led team learning
