In a learner-centered classroom the learning is collaborative, relevant, and applied. To prepare for the global economy, students must be able to collaborate and apply knowledge and skills to real-world situations. Learning cannot simply consist of memorizing facts or information and should not be disconnected from the real world. Many proven instructional strategies involve opportunities for students to collaborate with one another while applying their knowledge to relevant situations. Providing educational experiences that are relevant to a student's world can increase student engagement and achievement outcomes.
