Student-Centered Classrooms

There has been a big push in higher education, particularly at the community college level, to creat clases that are more centred on the student. What does it mean to have a student-centered classroom? What are some of the specific ways that you have worked to create a student-centered classroom? Is this even a direction that college classes should be going in?

If you have any thoughts, and I do mean any thoughts, on how we can improve this blog to meet not just the needs of our constituency, but all English faculty in two-year colleges, please post those thoughts here. If it can be done, and it's worthwhile, it will be done! Thanks.

On my blog, bleckblog, I posted some comments on what I'm doing in first year composition. Along with having students analyze political videos, political websites, and maybe a newsgroup, along with writing an argument, they are also going to have to use John Locke's second Treatise on Government as a springboard for each essay, drawing ideas from the readings and finding videos, websites, etc. that can be discussed within the context of Locke's ideas. What are others doing?

Creating a Student-Centered Classroom.
There has been a big push in higher education, particularly at the community college level, to creat clases that are more centred on the student. What does it mean to have a student-centered classroom? What are some of the specific ways that you have worked to create a student-centered classroom? Is this even a direction that college classes should be going in?

What kinds of professional resources are available for those who want to make these kinds of changes or explore issues further? What are some obstacles that might be encountered while moving to classes that are student centered?
