With the ever-changing pedagogical methods in the American education system, it is often difficult to sort through current trends and standards. Coupling student-led learning with the current climate of education can create a perfect storm of efficient instruction, engaged and invested students, and deeper knowledge and understanding of key concepts. This course will provide a fresh take on student-led learning for early childhood through school-age programs as well as provide some real-world applications and ideas for using student-led learning in a beneficial way.

Learning Outcomes:

• Discuss the concept of student-led learning as it pertains to their program
• Analyze hypothetical situations that pertain to student-led learning
• Explain the evolving role of the teacher in a student-led activity or classroom
• Identify developmentally appropriate CDA Competency Standards to coincide with lessons and activities
• Apply best practice standards for student-led learning
