Student Centered Learing

Student Centered Learning
We learned early on that it is very important to center the lessons around the students. Our lesson plans were moving the students to quickly through the unit. They were not retaining what we taught them or having time to complete the activities. After the second lesson we decided to take out a lesson and have some more review and practice time. It worked out really well to give them that time because it helped them retain what we were teaching them and allowed them to be able to integrate it into their final projects. We also needed some extra time for practice and because we had skipped a whole lesson we had time to give extra days. However, also because we had Tuesday that we didn’t think we were teaching we even had a chance to introduce stage combat with comedic styled falls and running into walls like we wanted to do for the lesson we skipped. Because we worked really hard, paid attention to the students, and were willing to put in a little more work revising lesson plans things went really well and the students liked us and learned a lot.
