Watch random neurons fire from Ryan Fitzpatrick's student teaching experience! Respond: rcfmod@hotmail.com

Begin by drawing a line. Now at one end of the line write teacher-centred and at the other write student-centred. Draw a second line that bisects the first at a 90 degree angle. At one end write individual-centred, at the other write group-centred. Now, draw a box (or a circle, Yvonne) around the cross connecting the four.

What you now have is a divining rod to figure out where your philosophy as a teacher lies. A more traditional teacher might end up in the teacher-centred/group-centred quadrant, whereas I might be drawn to a different pole (student-centred/group-centred). Who knows? It's fun though.
