My original session, the Four Stages of Intelligence was cancelled this morning which was disappointing so I needed to choose a different session. Many of the topics relate directly to an American education environment and so are hard to transfer to an Australian situation. However, this Learner-centred talk seemed like it would be a good general session to attend.
The conversations centered around what creates a learner-centered environment and how the learning environment has changed. Teachers are no longer content deliverers - "Guide on the side not sage on the stage".
In this new paradigm, students are requiring more and constant feedback rather than the traditional formal assessment feedback strategies deployed in most educational institutions.
Things to Google at a later date:
1. "The student learning imperative"
2. "21st Century Learning, A Crash Course"
