While hunting for a video on Student centered learning, I stumbled upon this Video which is I feel was the best amongst all the ones I saw. It is on:
If students designed their own schools...... by Chales Tsai:

It a beautiful video where a school allows students to learn what they want and however they wanted. It takes the idea of students centred learning to another level. Each students chooses that one thing that he/she wants to learn/ or is really curious about and they figure ways of learning it together. Its amazing the kind of affirmation students make about this approach after having experienced it. Its great to see that students actually are very passionate about learning and work hard towards that.
Each students picks up an idea and prepares to take their team through the journey and they work hard in the process. They display a lot of collaborative work in the process. The passion with which students are talking about it is great. There seems to be no fear of failing and different learners with different learning needs find space for themselves. They are aware of their fears and passions and make use of those in the process. One can make out that the students are completely invested in the process. Its amazing that students displayed responsibility not only of their own learning but also their team mates. The process definitely made the students very creative and fearless.
The trainers also play a very important in this process. One the belief that something like this may work and creating room for this to happen in itself is a key role of trainer here. Then playing the role of guide/mentor to these students as and when they needed and proving them the encouragement was absolutely amazing.
The students lived this process and believed in strongly. They realised that this would really prepare them to face the world and all students can benefit from an approach like this.
I think this was a great example of learner centric class may be to the next level. But its amazing to even imagine that if my learning process was like this, I may have been a different person all together. This makes me feel all the more responsible and aware of the importance of students centred learning
