Learning-centered Teaching Strategies

Competency

Valencia educators will utilize diverse teaching and learning strategies that accommodate the learning styles of students and that promote both acquisition and applications of knowledge and understanding.

Indicators

• employ strategies and techniques that guide students to become more active learners (engaging lectures, discussion, experiential learning, scenarios, role-play, case study, problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, manipulatives, etc.)
• encourage students to challenge ideas
• use cooperative/collaborative learning strategies
• integrate concrete, real-life situations into learning strategies
• invite student input (outcome goals, choice among assignment topics, learning activities, etc.)

Indicators provide examples of how competencies can be demonstrated in an Individualized Learning Plan. While all competencies need to be demonstrated, only some indicators need to be employed in the ILP process.
