Description
The Principles and Practices of Learner-Centered Classrooms
Explore the next step forward for teachers and teaching—one that helps all students gain a deeper understanding of themselves, others, and the world. “Learner-centered classrooms rely on teachers who are willing to change and grow, and on school leaders who are willing to intelligently support them. Change is never easy, but teaching has never been easy, either. Its goal is too grand for ease.”
Carol Ann Tomlinson’s role in defining and popularizing differentiated instruction has made her one of the most influential voices in modern education. In So Each May Soar, she illuminates the next step forward: creating learner-centered classrooms to help all students gain a deeper understanding of themselves, others, and the world.
Join Tomlinson as she explores principles and practices of learner-centered classrooms, including:
-
What it means for teachers to honor themselves, each learner, and the content they teach.
-
How to assemble a curriculum that ignites students’ imaginations and drives discovery.
-
How to guide classroom experiences that develop the mind of each learner in accordance with that learner’s marvelous individuality.
-
How to shape curriculum, assessment, and instruction to support both equity and excellence.
Use this book’s curated collection of strategies to reconnect with professional and personal aspirations, build an energized and mutually respectful classroom community, and deliver instruction that feels alive to you and your students.
