This topic thus, delves into breaking down the components of culture within the classroom and helping teachers with practices that create an open, safe, nurturing and enabling classroom environment, where children feel motivated, energetic and ready to learn with one another.
Planning for a learner-centric classroom
An important step in growing as a facilitator of active learning is understanding learner needs and planning lessons to meet those needs. This module will introduce teachers to multiple learning styles and theories, which will help them understand their students better, and to Bloom’s Taxonomy, which will help them create strong objectives for their lessons.
