Student-Centered Learning 🎓 (21st Century Education)

Paul Romani (M.Ed.) from Pear Tree Education talks about student-centered learning in 21st century education.

Also, Paul talks the differences between teacher-centered and student-centered classes, and what to look for. He goes on to discuss project-based learning as the solution to implementing truly student-centered classes.

At the end of the video, Paul gives a real-life example of a teacher-centered class to prove just how bad those kinds of classes really are!
