Kyle Wagner: The 12 Shifts for Student-Centered Environments

Coconut Thinking

How might we commit to change in order to create conditions for deeper learning and put students first?

In this episode, I speak with Kyle Wagner. Kyle is an education consultant and founder of Transform Educational Consulting (TEC). He specializes in empowering schools to create socially, emotionally, and globally aware citizens through project-based learning. With over 20 years of experience, Kyle has worked with numerous schools worldwide, helping design more than 500 learning experiences. He previously served as the coordinator for Futures Academy at the International School of Beijing and as a project-based learning leader at High Tech High. Kyle is the author of "The Power of Simple," which provides strategies for school transformation. We discuss:

🥥 How changes in the physical environment can augment or constrain deeper learning;

🥥 How artifacts of learning are touch points in journeys of learning rather than ends in themselves;

🥥 How no matter where you are, or think you are, you can make a shift toward more student-centered learning.
