What is Learner-Centered Teaching?

At its core, learner-centered teaching recognizes the unique needs and strengths of each diverse learner. It's about creating a student-focused environment where engagement is high, and deeper learning takes place. By incorporating innovative pedagogy and evidence-based practices, LCT fosters student motivation, collaboration, and a sense of ownership over their education.
