Student-Centered Literacy Instruction in High School: I Want To, but How? Instructional Resource No. 29.
McWhorter, Patti; Hudson-Ross, Sally
A high-school department chair and English teacher switched jobs with a university-based teacher educator. In this paper, they define their shared vision of student-centered learning, describe how to create a student-centered environment, explain how to implement student-centered activities, provide an example involving the colonial period in American literature, and provide a 23-item practitioner's reading bibliography to begin exploring the range of fields that helped shaped their ideas. The final unit plan developed by students for the colonial period research project is attached. (Author/RS)
