Overview
Here is helpful evidence and support to counter the criticism as you encourage your preservice teachers to develop constructivist curricula. Guide them as they learn to foster students' problem-solving skills, lifelong learning habits, and individual interests. Aaronsohn gives you a rich case study showing the challenges that face Sheila, a new student-centered teacher. As Sheila struggles to overcome resistance from other teachers in her new school, she learns how to handle her own uncertainties about her nontraditional curriculum.Synopsis
Teachers who want to develop a meaningful curriculum, requiring students to develop problem-solving skills and pursue their individual interests, often face criticism from colleagues with traditional teaching styles. Through a rich case study, Elizabeth Aaronsohn illustrates the difficulties of becoming a student-centred teacher within a traditional school which conforms to teacher- or content-centred education. She argues that student-centred teaching ought to become the norm in schools.
