In This Episode We Cover

• Creating environments that are as student-centered as possible.  Teachers want to do it, they just don't know where to start.
• Strategies for handling situations where we as teachers are forced to following scripted programs and how we can be slightly more innovative in our approach.
• Creating experiences for students to process the content and emotions to reach new learning targets.
• It is okay to be a risk-taker in our instructional approach.  It's also okay to not be and need to see the results from some trusted colleagues first.
• Lessons can flop, and if it's a traditional approach there are no positive gains.  If we take a creative risk and the content flops, students still gained so many more positive qualities.
