This document discusses the student-centered approach to learning. It presents several key beliefs: that students learn in different ways, learning is an active process, students are engaged when involved, and knowledge is built internally. The workshop teaches the characteristics of student-centered classes, where students do 80% of the work and teachers organize 20%. An activity checklist is provided to ensure activities include prediction, self-discovery, involvement, application of knowledge, and varied interaction patterns. Benefits of the student-centered approach for both students and teachers are outlined.
