Do the words student-led leave you slightly nervous? Can you feel the chaos that comes along with losing control of a classroom? After all, they are only children. How can they possibly lead the class? The answer to this is amazingly. These children are teachers, creators, inventors and critical thinkers. They are just waiting on someone – like you! – to give them the opportunity to develop their abilities.
We have been taking a student-led approach to our classrooms and have seen how successful it can be. It will not happen overnight. Transformations rarely do. However, we encourage you to try. Try a little at a time. Ask questions. Trust your kids and yourself. Follow our blog and know we are here for you every step of the way. You will be amazed at how losing control finally gives you the opportunity to gain it!
