0:02 good day everyone and Welcome to our course facilitating learner centered teaching in today's rapidly evolving educational landscape it's essential for us as future Educators to embrace a shift in our teaching philosophy this course is designed to move us from traditional teacher- centered methods to approaches that place the learner at the center of the educational experience this isn't just about delivering content it's about creating an environment where students are actively involved in their Learning Journey throughout this course you will learn how to engage students in ways that are meaningful motivating and responsive to their individual needs let's start this journey together and I'm excited to see how you'll grow into effective facilitators of learning let's take a closer look at what this course

0:49 entails facilitating learner centered teaching or pck1 1220 is designed to equip you with the fundamental principles processes and practices essential for creating learner centered environments we'll be exploring educational psychologies that support these environments and how they can be applied across various teaching learning modes imagine you're in a classroom where every student learns differently one student might be more Hands-On another might Exel with visual aids while a third prefers reading and reflection our goal is to understand how to create a classroom that accommodates these differences ensuring that every student can engage with the material in a way that works best for them this approach is is key to fostering a love for Learning and helping all students succeed building on that Foundation this

1:36 course will also focus on differentiated teaching this means you'll learn to tailor your teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of your students whether those differences are in gender strengths interests or cultural backgrounds for example consider a classroom where some students come from different socioeconomic backgrounds some may have access to more resources outside of school While others might not in this scenario it's crucial to find ways to support each student effectively ensuring that all have equal opportunities to succeed we'll explore how to implement strategies that are inclusive and responsive making sure every student feels valued and supported now let's talk about what you'll be able to do by the end of this course at the end of the course the

2:22 students are expected to have demonstrate understanding of the concepts and principles of learner centered teaching based on educational philosophies and research and their application in actual teaching and learning process demonstrate understanding of learning environments that promote fairness respect and care to encourage learning demonstrate knowledge of managing classroom structure that engages Learners individually or in groups in meaningful exploration Discovery and Hands-On activities within the available physical learning environments demonstrate understanding of supportive learning environment that nurture and Inspire learner participation demonstrate knowledge of learning environments that motivate Learners to work productively by assuming responsibility for their own

3:07 learning demonstrate knowledge of positive and non-violent discipline in the management of learner Behavior demonstrate knowledge and understanding of differentiated teaching to suit the learner's gender needs strengths interests and experiences Implement teaching strategies that are responsive to Learners linguistic cultural socioeconomic and religious background s demonstrate understanding of the special educational needs of Learners who have been displaced due to Urban resettlement calamities and armed conflicts and demonstrate knowledge of laws and policy documents that promote learner centered teaching these all means that you'll demonstrate a deep understanding of learner centered teaching grounded in educational philosophies and research

3:53 this isn't just theoretical you'll learn how to apply these Concepts in real classroom settings for instance you'll explore how to create and manage learning environments that promote fairness respect and care imagine a classroom where every student feels safe and respected a place where they are encouraged to take risks ask questions and engage deeply with the content this is the kind of environment we'll be working towards you'll also learn how to engage Learners through exploration Discovery and Hands-On activities picture a science class where students aren't just reading about ecosystems but are actually creating and observing their own many ecosystems this kind of active learning Fosters deeper understanding and a more meaningful connection to the material moreover we'll cover the

4:40 importance of nonviolent discipline and how to manage learner Behavior positively for example instead of resorting to punitive measures when a student acts out you might use a restorative approach that helps the student understand the impact of their behavior and encourages them to make better choices in the future before we Del further let's define what we mean by education education came from the Latin word EduCare educera which means to lead education is often described as the process of facilitating learning where students acquire knowledge skills values and habits but as Educators our role goes beyond this teaching and learning with the purpose of creating a positive change in the learner's Behavior education is also about how

5:26 students learn and the environments in which they learn it's about fostering curiosity critical thinking and preparing students to be active informed citizens for instance when teaching a concept like democracy rather than just explaining the theory you might facilitate a classroom debate where students explore different perspectives this not only deepens their understanding but also helps them develop essential life skills such as communication critical thinking and empathy in traditional education the teacher was often seen as the sole transmitter of knowledge where the focus was on delivering content for students to absorb however in modern education this role has evolved today the teacher is more of a facilitator of learning guiding supporting and inspiring

6:12 students as they navigate their own learning Journeys let me give you an example in a history class instead of just lecturing about historical events you might facilitate a project where students research and present on different historical figures this approach not only helps students learn the material but also encourages them to develop research skills collaborate with their peers and engage more deeply with the content this shift from being a transmitter to a facilitator reflects the broader move towards more Dynamic interactive and student- centered learning environments where the focus is on developing lifelong Learners not just passing on information next let's proceed to preparation for teaching preparation for teaching is an ongoing process that begins long before

6:58 you enter the classroom and Contin throughout your career during your pre-service stage you'll focus on general education professional education and your area of specialization or major this is where you build the foundation of your teaching Knowledge and Skills once you become an inservice teacher your learning doesn't stop you'll engage in professional development activities such as meetings conferences seminars and workshops for example attending a seminar on new technology and education could give you fresh ideas ideas on how to engage students and enhance their learning experiences professional growth also includes activities like visits to other classrooms where you can observe and learn from your peers or joining study groups where you can discuss and reflect on your teaching

7:43 practices all these activities help you stay updated inspired and effective in your teaching an important milestone in your teaching career is obtaining your license and certification your teaching license authorizes you to teach while your certification indicates the program you've completed and what you're qualified to teach for example if you completed a bachelor of secondary education BD your certification will reflect that you're prepared to teach at the secondary level having a license and certification is essential for ensuring that teachers meet Professional Standards and are equipped to provide highquality education this is not just a formality it's a testament to your Readiness and commitment to take on the responsibilities of a professional educator so who exactly is a licensed
