DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A high school in central Kentucky is participating in a national experiment in one of the latest education trends.
It’s called student-centered learning, and Danville High School is one of five high schools nationwide participating in the program of a California foundation designed to delve deeper into how it can work for some students.
The Advocate-Messenger newspaper in Danville reports that student-centered learning means the students don’t use textbooks, PowerPoint slides or worksheets. (http://bit.ly/tz7O3C)
Instead an assignment might consist of building a table from a pile of wood on the floor.
Student Emma Jackson says the new approach is perfect for kids who find school to be boring.
