Researchers from the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education spent the last year and a half studying four Bay Area high schools that are using student-centered learning. Their report was released last month, and found the schools outperforming their district counterparts in test scores and graduation rates.
KALW’s Jen Chien spoke with the lead author of the study, Diane Friedlaender, about what student-centered learning is, and how it differs from what we see in most schools today.
DIANE FRIEDLAENDER: It’s like a second home for our kids and their teachers are like aunts and uncles.
