Education is no longer about listening to the teacher talk

1. Instruction should be student -centered

Students will need to acquire new information as problems arise. Then, they will need to connect the new information with

the knowledge they already have and apply it to solving the problem at

hand.

2.Education should be collaborative Students should be

encouraged to work together to discover information, piece

it together, and construct meaning.

Students should learn how to recognize the different

strengths and talents each person can bring to a project, and change roles depending

on those attributes.

Collaboration should also be dynamic.

3. Learning should have context

Teacher doesn’t gives up all control of the classroom.
