Dear Sir, Madam,
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this post. I am interested in learning more about how we can create relationships betweencurriculum design concepts, philosophies and our teaching practices. Specifically, can those of us who hold different ideological philosophies on the definitionof education and the needs of our students contribute to meaningful dialogue tocreate better learning environments? If so, are there certain techniques (remain patient, open-minded, etc.) that work better than others to help facilitate this contentious conversation?
1) When using a subject-centered approach to curriculum for teaching English, what are some ways that we can still engage students in the planning process?
2) When using a learner-centered approach, is it better to engage our students by having them choose their preferred method of assessment such as, creating a student portfolio, self/peer evaluations, etc.?
Thank you for your comments and feedback!
Sincerely,
Rory Stavinga
