Ruhl talks about how he changed his teacher-centered way of
teaching to a student-centered way of teaching. He calls the move from front
and center to a guide on the side. Ruhl
has been teaching for 37 years and teaches high school biology. Ruhl believes
there are 6 Cs regarding important 21st Century skills, with the first C being Choice.
Give students a choice in their learning process, then you have the 4 Cs of
Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking and Creativity and the sixth C
is Caring. If students know the teacher cares about them it will be one of their
most effective, motivating, powerful and inspiring tools.
