The Minnesota Learner-Centered Network has adopted these seven principles - researched and defined by our partners at Education Evolving - to help describe, identify, and support practices we believe are core tenets of Student-Centered Learning Environments.
Students are fully embraced for who they are and develop a sense of positive identity and belonging.
These schools provide great examples of how
can look in different Learner-Centered Environments. These exemplar school environments provide a chance to showcase successful implementations and provide support for discussion, learning, and growth.
Visits are supported by the MLCN and are free for educators! Sign up today.
