PROGRAM/CURRICULAR DESIGN
Learner-Centric frameworks are suggested to design your physical education program while incorporating multiple means of representing information, multiple means of engaging the learner, and multiple means of expression.
LEARNER-CENTRIC TEACHING STRATEGIES
Learner-Centric education focuses on 3 important aspects about the learner.
- Every learner is unique - They come from all backgrounds, have unique challenges and strengths, interests, and aspirations!
- Every learner wants to learn - It's your job as their teacher to unleash the learners desire to learn!
- Every learner is full of potential - Every learner has the amazing ability to learn at their own pace based on their learning style!
