A teacher who says ‘I’ve got to plan my lessons’ is not demonstrating as ‘student-centred’ an attitude as a teacher who says ‘I’ve got to plan my students’ lessons’. It might seem a tad facetious, but the simple switch in [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amuseamuses.wordpress.com&#038;blog=16073402&#038;post=1040&#038;subd=amuseamuses&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
