Seven
Principles of
Student-Centered Learning
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.
While the principles provide a common language, we believe none are prescriptive - all environments must be designed to meet the needs of the community it serves.

Education Evolving's Seven Principles of Student-Centered Learning
Anytime, Anywhere
Students learn in the community, at internships, on weekends, during extracurriculars - student-centered schools find way to capture and credential this essential element.
Positive Relationships
Students have relationships with adults and peers who care about, believe in, and hold them to high expectations.
Positive Identity
Students are fully embraced for who they are and develop a sense of positive identity and belonging.
Real-World Relevant
Students solve real-world problems and learn skills they will use in their own lives.
Competency-Based
Students advance by mastering clearly defined learning objectives, and receive support as needed.
