After reflecting on training about learner-centered environments from the Lighthouse Summer Institute, many teachers are being very thoughtful about how to set up their classrooms this year. 

This first video reflection featuring Bethany Banks and Shantell Breen at Mays Chapel was taken during the week before students arrived as teachers were setting up their classrooms. 
The second video reflection from Rodgers Forge 5th grade teacher Katie Schmidt was recorded after just two weeks with students. As you'll hear, making the classroom more student-centered takes some adjustment, but Katie is already noticing more student engagement.

Katie Schmidt's reflection is so relatable. It's a great reminder that creating a student-centered classroom is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. It takes courage to step back and let students take ownership of their learning, but as Katie mentioned, the increased student engagement makes all the adjustments worth it. Kudos to her for embracing the challenge!
