Summary: | The historical context for the development of the
Learner-Centered Psychological Principles (LCPs)
is summarized. This context includes a discussion
of why the LCPs and their practices are particularly
important in the current educational reform
era. Implications for practice are provided, and
the article concludes with how the LCPs can contribute
to a national framework for the systemic
redesign of K-20 education. The learner-centered
framework provides validation for practices that
achieve a balanced focus on both learning and
learners. Research-validated principles establish
a foundation for clarifying components of a positive
learning environment at classroom and school
levels that can increase the likelihood of more students
experiencing success. |
