The concept of C3TEP is derived from the TEACHERS’ STANDARDS, i.e.

Education is his first concern Reach for the highest possible standards in work &

conduct Act with honesty & integrity Have expansive knowledge on his subject Up to date in knowledge & methodologies in teaching Forge professional relationships Work for best interests of their pupils Above is derived from the preamble to “Teachers’ Standards” of Dept.

of Education, UK, May 2012.

Towards students: to facilitate the learning process

John Dewey, (1897) Student centered methodology Students are active Students are engaged in learning activities

Dewey argued that education and learning are social and interactive processes

and thus the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can and should take place.

In addition to Seven Cardinal principles Gene Carter (2012) proposed that the

purpose of schools must be preparing children to compete in the global environment.

In addition to the regular ethical responsibilities of a teacher towards the students, teacher is empowered in the Law under the doctrine of “in loco parentis”

On-line “The free dictionary” explains ‘For hundreds of years, the English common-law concept

shaped the rights and responsibilities of public school teachers: until the late nineteenth century, their legal authority over

students was as broad as that of parents. Changes in U.S. education, concurrent with a broader reading

by courts of the rights of students, began bringing the concept into disrepute by the 1960s.

Cultural changes, however, brought a resurgence of the doctrine in the twenty-first century’.

At school, teacher assumes the role of “replacement parent”

The Role of teacher in Literature: mentor, an influential senior supporter

Teacher joins the students in shared writing thereby becoming a Mentor.

Teacher sets up a literature discussion in the class moving in and out of the discussion in his role as a mentor.

Teacher in his role as a mentor, set up links between our lives, the world at large and literature.

Facilitator: mentor, learning mediatorIn the 21st century: from teacher centered to

learner-centeredThe reasons for this Transition form

Teacher-centered to learner-centered, as I gather, are as follows

[a] The wealth of information has no bounds[b] The information is freely available[c] Monotonous lectures bring about the

lowest retention power in learning

Edgar Dale’s The Learning Pyramidthe Greatest Methods of Learning Retention are at the Base of the Pyramid.This is achieved through Discussion Groups, Practice-By-Doing Activities, Sharing Ideas and Teaching Others.profiles.google.com/bunpeiris https://www.facebook.com/bunpeiris http://www.mysrilankaholidays.com/

However 21st century learner-centered model is not free of drawbacks. McCrorie (2006) as cited in London Deanery (2012)[online] summarizes some of the problems .

students cannot be encouraged to talk except with difficulty

students do not prepare for the sessionsone student dominates or blocks the discussionthe students want the answers not the questions





18

Since such are the possible classroom complications, the educator has to be a versatile character and adopt to the situations.

McCrorie(2006) as cited in London Deanery (2012) [online] says the educator, in his ideal state, with learner-centered model

is enthusiastic has organized the session well has a feeling for the subject can conceptualize the topic has empathy with the learners understands how people learn has skills in teaching and managing learning is alert to context and ‘classroom’ events is teaching with their preferred teaching style has a wide range of skills in their teaching repertoire, including

‘questioning, listening, reinforcing, reacting, summarising and leadership’





19

The birth of the learner-centered model is best be heard of master practitioners. Altan & Trombly (2001) says

‘Creating a learner-centered classroom is a response to the problem created when a student’s learning style differs from the teacher’s teaching style.

The way a teacher presents subject matter may conflict with students’ ideas about learning, thus resulting in no learning.

Therefore, it is the teacher’s duty to respect individual learner differences and to assist the students in discovering their own learning processes and preferences.

It requires putting students at the center of classroom organization and respecting their needs, strategies, and styles’.

learner-centered model can be adapted in educating the Children with special needs too since learning by kinesthetic movement is one of its aspects.

TRECC [2013] online states ‘Children with special needs deserve the same free

and appropriate education that all children receive.Difficult yet rewarding [eg. Taare Zameen Par]Children with special needs learn best when they

are touching and manipulating objectsThis kinesthetic movement makes their brains react

and see things in a different light.
