Learner-Centered Innovation

Spark Curiosity, Ignite Passion and Unleash Genius

De: Dr. Katie Martin

Narrado por: Katie Martin

Our changing world demands creative thinkers and collaborative problem solvers, but too often, schools stifle growth and discovery in favor of getting through the curriculum or preparing for "the test." Learning opportunities and teaching methods must evolve to match the ever-changing needs of today's learners.

When we tell kids to complete an assignment, we get compliance. When we empower kids to explore and learn how to make an impact on the world, we inspire problem solvers and innovators. This required change in education involves more than providing training for administrators and teachers to implement new curriculum or programs and resources; it demands that we, as teachers and leaders, create an environment where learners at every level are empowered to take risks in pursuit of learning and growth rather than perfection.

This book is for you if you are wondering...

What if learners were valued for their diverse talents and not just our traditional model of "smart"?

What if I could create new and better experiences for those I serve?

What if I could inspire students to learn, to discover their passions, and to share their ideas with the world?

The Future Of Ed

Thanks to Dr. Martin for expressing so passionately, compassionately, and wisely, the future that is unfolding in education - but needs all of us to step up and innovate together to make it real for ALL our students in every classroom - ASAP!

Katie Hits the Nail on the Head

Are students driven to complete a task or to learn?
Our educational systems are focused on compliance and performance vs. ownership and meaningful problem solving

We need to shift our system from Compliance to Empowerment.

This book takes leaders, educators, parents, and students on a journey to what learning could and should be.

Excellent.
