The Minnesota Learner-Centered Network has adopted these seven principles - researched and defined by our partners at Education Evolving - to help describe, identify, and support practices we believe are core tenets of Student-Centered Learning Environments.
Education Evolving as produced a second guide to help identify and shape aspects of equity within Student-Centered Learning, structured alongside those seven principles.
To read the full text of Education Evolving's Equity in Student-Centered Learning guide, please visit their wonderful resource page, found here: Equity Guide.
Students have relationships with adults and peers who care about, believe in, and hold them to high expectations.
Students are fully embraced for who they are and develop a sense of positive identity and belonging.
Students have freedom to exercise choice in pursuing interests, with teachers serving as guides and facilitators.
Students solve real-world problems and learn skills they will use in their own lives.
Students advance by mastering clearly defined learning objectives, and receive support as needed.
Students learn in the community, at internships, on weekends, during extracurriculars - student-centered schools find way to capture and credential this essential element.
