Turning Over Classroom Decision Making: A Teacher's Experience over Time.

Coe, Carol

Active Learner: A Foxfire Journal for Teachers, v2 n2 p7-9,38 Aug 1997

A high school teacher describes how her classroom methods changed from traditional teacher-centered pedagogy to the active and democratic involvement of students in developing their own learning communities. Sidebars describe class projects: an oral history project that blossomed into a "Forties Festival" with 1940s alumni and the "M-Possible Dream" (a worldwide online learning community). (SV)
