Lumex tutors run IJMBE A’ Level program amidst other A’
level programs in the nation, and we have factored in all that will make
candidates succeed not only in academic but in life as well.
You would have changed the course of history of that
student by referring him or her to LUMEX TUTORS LTD.
Lumex tutors limited has arranged not only preservation
of rights, learning infrastructure but also has trained and retrained all its
staff to ensure that all student are well trained in self-leadership, quality
and academic excellence.
These new realities and realisms are made possible by
MESITES CONSULTING LIMITED, it’s an international educational consulting firm
with inexorable ardor to lead a social movement in quality education.
In
preparing for an upcoming challenge, that day my challenger will ask me to
define what learner centered teaching or student focused teaching methodology
should be described as. My first response would be, why was school
created, just like an hospital, is it
not supposed to be patient focused or centered design, so how did we lose it,
it means some of us have given up, we have allowed mediocrity to seize the
reins of power. So schools are to be learners focused, this raised a pertinent
question that, who is currently the focus of learning – the school owners, the
ministry of education, the school administrators or the school teachers – and
how do we remove whichever answer we pick and get the learners to the center of
focus and ensure they stay there.
Like
all systems with multiple stakeholders, there will be complexities and
challenges. Learners seem to be on the weakest side of the system, they seem to
have the weakest influence and the system is created for them and because of
them. So who will stand up for the learners, who will spearhead a change, who
will lead a social movement? I must confess, we all can, and we are all
potentiated including those reading this scripts, whenever we can muster the
courage to act on new scripts, amazing things always happens. “Show me a
superintendent or principal or a chancellor who has transformed his school and
I will show you someone who led a social movement”. We must understand that
excellence is a virus and it can spread like a raging avalanche of fury across
a nation or continent. Bringing the center of focus to students and making all
decisions count for them is the reason why we should have a school.
I will
always remember to tell them that I was inspired to think about foundational
principles for promoting a learner-centered approach to teaching in all levels
of education.
Recognizing
the limitations in attempting to represent the inherent complexities and nuances
of teaching and learning, I shall be presenting my dissertation with the
following points on learner-centered principles for teaching in advanced level
education:
1. Actively
Engage Learners: ensure
learning material is stimulating, relevant and interesting; explain material
clearly; use a variety of methods that encourage active and deep approaches to
learning, as well as adapt to evolving classroom contexts.
2. Demonstrate
Empathy and Respect: show
interest in students’ opinions and concerns; seek to understand their diverse
talents, needs, prior knowledge, and approaches to learning; encourage
interaction between instructor and students; share your love of the discipline.
3. Communicate
Clear Expectations: make
clear the intended learning outcomes and standards for performance; provide
organization, structure and direction for where
the course is going.
4. Encourage
Independence: provide
opportunities for students to develop and draw upon personal interests; offer
choice in learning processes and modes of assessment; provide timely and
developmental feedback on learning; encourage metacognition to promote
self-assessment of learning.
5. Create
a Community for Learning: use
teaching methods and learning strategies that encourage mutual learning, as
well as thoughtful, respectful and collaborative engagement and dialogue.
6. Use
Appropriate Assessment Methods: clearly
align assessment methods with intended course outcomes; provide clear criteria
for evaluation; emphasize deep learning; scaffold assessments to ensure
progressive learning.
7. Commit
to Continuous Improvement: gather formative and summative feedback
on your teaching; practice critical self-reflection; consult scholarly
literature on teaching & learning; identify clear goals for strengthening
your teaching practice.
with these few points,
