- Learner-Centered: readiness, interest, “known misconceptions,” and “learners construct their own meaning”
- Assessment-centered: “students’ thinking must be made visible,” feedback, Bloom’s taxonomy, summative assessments.
- Community-centered: norms, values, connecting school and society.
- Knowledge-centered: disciplinary content, disciplinary skills, “progressive formalization” or scaffolding, and “cognitively guided” instruction.
This description curtsey of My Professor's Blog
The learner aspect of my lessons should be evident, as I allow students to pick and choose companion novels based on their personal preference.
The assessment aspect of my lessons will be when I not only grade students based on their presentations but also on the tests and essays they will be required to partake in to I am able to determine how much of the information they have absorbed during each unit.
The community aspect can be seen when the students present each book they have read. This is meant to not only help their public speaking skills but bring them together as a classroom to learn and discuss the topics being studied.
The knowledge aspect of my lessons is what I hope my students take away from these units. I would like them to not only have gained enough knowledge to read and understand the classics, but also hopefully had them learn enough that they have reached the highest level of Bloom's Taxonomy which is creation, and that they can create presentations and projects based around the knowledge they have acquired.
