Dr. Keith Morton on Student-Centered Learning Philosophy and Strategies

Today we continue a series of very special episodes - 15 interviews of Student-Centered Educators brought to us by guest producers. You’re about to hear from Edmicelly Xavier, a Spanish teacher at Paul Cuffee Upper School, an inner-city charter school in Providence, Rhode Island. Edmicelly grew up in Providence and is a product of the underfunded and underperforming inner-city schools. Now she is earning a Master of Education in Urban Teaching at Providence College this month. She interviews Keith Morton, Public and Community Service professor at Providence College, who has particular interests in community building, nonviolence and youth development. Edmicelly and Keith have a broad conversation about student-centered learning, the power of it, how to do it, and what systems and structures that need to change to enable it. Enjoy!
