In Support of Excellence

It's all about the students

The Continuum of Shift

Another concept that resonates with academics is the “Continuum of Shift” (Slide 005 forward). This is a concept I use to help teachers understand how to move from content centered teaching to activity centered, from teacher centered to student centered. Every pedagogical approach and supporting elearning technology that I introduce and teach is designed to empower the student to more effectively engage and build knowledge.

The social constructivist approach is about showing both teachers and students that they are on a journey together and more is achieved if they build knowledge together. I don’t interact with the students - to them I am invisible. I transfer this vision to the teachers - when they implement and enrich the student experience, I have done my job.
