Student-Centered Classrooms for Today’s Student: Engaging All Learners Through Choice, Technology, and Innovative Practices
January 26, 2016 

Innovation in education starts with our students. It strengthens relationships, and deepens learning experiences. Student choice and technology allow teachers to build true engagement with all students regardless of their background. Our learners today live in a completely different world than we did 25, 15, or even 10 years ago. Students have access to on-demand information with the click of a button on their phones. In today's world, technology is growing exponentially, change is an expected part of our lives, and we have tools that have revolutionized the way we think about teaching and learning. Yet, on the fundamental level of learning we know that all of this change needs to be channeled for it to have a positive impact on our students and in our classrooms.
This session goes into detail on how to build a student-centered classroom that promotes authentic learning experiences for all students. Attendees will learn:
1) How student-choice fuels engagement
2) How to use technology with a learning purpose
3) What innovative teaching practices impact a diverse set of learners;
4) Why student-centered classrooms promote equity and ownership of learning.
