| Description |
Optimal student learning occurs in a student-centered classroom, where students feel accepted, challenged, and motivated. Student choice in a classroom is positively associated with divergent thinking, real world learning experiences, and greater academic outcomes. With the implementation of high stakes testing it is difficult for teachers to move toward this type of learning environment, as more focus is placed on end of level testing and the curriculum is becoming more narrow. A curriculum was developed to provide 5th grade teachers with a guideline for creating an environment in which students have a voice and an active role in the classroom while still being aligned to the Utah Core Standards. The curriculum includes a greeting, a language arts component, and an activity. Five expert evaluators assessed the curriculum and provided feedback to the author. Feedback was positive, showing a desire by evaluators to implement this type of curriculum in the classroom, helping positive relationships be developed while still teaching the core standards. |
