Teachers who are accustomed to lecturing and relying on textbooks or pre-created materials may have trouble shifting to a more student-centered classroom which entails giving up control and allowing students to work in multiple directions on different activities at the same time. While planning project work requires more time upfront on the part of the teacher, once a project is underway, the teacher has less preparation to do on a daily basis and acts as a coach or facilitator throughout the project. Teachers find this exciting and a way to connect with students’ individual styles and creativity. csolheid Sun, 01 Jul 2007 03:37:40 +0000 changing roles
