Abstract

It cannot be said that every school and every classroom in Toronto has made an attempt to adopt student-centred teaching strategies, as defined in Chapter Two. My experience as a teacher tells me, quite to the contrary, that most classrooms remain teacher-centred, and we continue to suffer the consequences of that. This situation remains, in spite of the relentless efforts of some teachers, educational consultants, and researchers involve students as initiators of teaching and learning.
