Move Towards More—Student-Centered Learning (SCL)
Facilitate: Involve students in learning activities in class—presentations, question and answer, discussion or other activities
Motivate: Give motivation and spirit to students that will build confidence. Place students at the center of learning, not teachers or the curriculum
Inspire: Act as a student assistant and as a friend who can provide inspiration to students

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
SCL: 7 Elements
1. “Active rather than passive learning; 2. An emphasis on deep learning and understanding; 3. Increased responsibility and accountability on the part
of the student;4. An increased sense of autonomy in the learner;
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
SCL: 7 Elements
5. An interdependence between teacher and learner;6. Mutual respect within the learner-teacher
relationship; and 7. A reflexive approach to the teaching and learning
process on the part of both teacher and learner.”

Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
SCL: 9 Principles
1. SCL requires an ongoing reflexive process.2. SCL does not have a “one-size-fits-all” solution.3. Students have different learning styles.4. Students have different needs and interests.5. Choice is central to effective learning in SCL.
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
SCL: 9 Principles
6. Students have different experiences and background knowledge.
7. Students should have control over their learning. (courses, curricula, evaluation)
8. SCL is about enabling, not telling.9. Learning needs cooperation between students and
staff.

CENTERS / STATIONS
Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent“Making Education Work for All Georgians”www.gadoe.org
CENTERS / STATIONS
Have “supplies and materials that work well together and give students the tools to complete activities and mini-projects”
“What types of learning centers are appropriate? Classroom size, students’ interest, and grade level will help you determine your decision”

SIMULATIONS: A NOTE ABOUT ASSESSMENT
• “If assessing learning based on game outcomes, depending on the game design, game results may or may not indicate that significant learning has occurred. (For example, even if a student ‘loses’ in a simulation, it might not mean that s/he did not learn; and alternatively, a student who faired well may have learned alternative strategies unrelated to intended learning objectives.”

CLASSROOM SET-UP TIPS
Make your crowded classroom feel bigger by:
Use tables instead of desks Use chair pockets for storage Make inexpensive cubbies using removable hooks and plastic milk crates Leave one wall completely blank. Your students are as overwhelmed by all the
bodies in the room as you are Outline the borders of chalkboards and whiteboards with twinkle lights. When the
class gets too noisy, turn off the main lights, and turn on the twinkling lights. The students will quiet down
Use area rugs. They cut down noise and define tight spaces Think of your room in levels. Use the space above the students as well as under
their desks Declutter and simplify
