Learning Centers, I found this article to be the most interesting of the readings. I like the idea of using learning centers in the classroom, I especially like it because I would like to teach in a Montessori school, and learning centers follow a lot of the Montessori way. They involve a lot of choices for the students and require the students to work with their peers and to decide for themselves how to go about completing a center.
I don’t know if learning centers would be very realistic as a beginning teacher, it seems as though they will require a lot of time and experience. As a new teacher I may not have the time or resources to make these happen. However this could be used as an opportunity to collaborate with other teachers on ways to make the centers.
I like that the centers can be used as a way for students to work in groups. These could be utilized for ESL students and for different learning levels. The centers give the students the opportunity to gain experience with the things they are learning. I think one of the most important things is that the centers seem like a fun idea. They seem like something students would enjoy and look forward to doing. The centers could be utilized as a way to introduce a new lesson or as a form of assessment at the end of one.
