AAPF17 Sessions: 

Using “Students at the Center” Resources to Strengthen Instruction

​In this session participants will explore the principles of student-centered learning drawn from research and identify states where “Students at the Center” policies are being promoted. The session will connect participants to a range of resources that can guide and inform student-centered instructional work.  A writing to learn strategy will be employed to assist participants in determining how to use the resources to strengthen or support practice in their particular contexts.
