Textbook-driven Research-driven
Learners work in isolation – classroom within 4 walls
Learners work collaboratively with classmates and others around the world
Teacher-centered: teacher is center of attention and provider of information
Student-centered: teacher is facilitator/coach
Little to no student freedom Great deal of student freedom
Fragmented curriculum Integrated and Interdisciplinary curriculum

Continuous Improvement
“Collaborative conversations call on team members to make public what has traditionally been private—goals, strategies, materials, pacing, questions, concerns, and results. These discussions give every teacher someone to turn to and talk
to, and they are explicitly structured to improve the classroom practice of teachers—individually and collectively.”
~Richard DuFour
