Learner-Centered Instruction  

"The goal of a learner centered practice is to create learning environments that optimize students’ opportunities to pay attention and actively engage in authentic, meaningful, and useful learning." Terry Doyle

The Principles of Learner-Center Teaching (by Maryellen Weimer) are:

• Teachers do learning tasks less
• Teachers do less telling; Students do more discovering
• Teachers do more design work (of activities and learning experiences)
• Faculty do more modeling
• Faculty do more to get students learning from and with each other
• Faculty work to create climates for learning
• Faculty do more with feedback
