Student-Centered Teaching Practices We choose to teach college students because we are committed to the proposition that education can indeed be liberating. How we teach the students who enter our classrooms can make the difference between students who realize their potential and those who leave us discouraged about their possibilities. These resources, organized by topic, offer frameworks and strategies faculty can use to make their classrooms vibrant learning spaces for every student who walks through the door.
