Hi Ali:
Really, just being willing to put aside my standard "process" for instructing" in favor of individualizing my instruction with each student is one way of being student centered.
This can also be veiwed from the students perspective: trying new methods, commiting to doing all assignments, seeking tutoring, asking questions, exploring more than the facts but also the behind the scenes of why and where. Critical thinking.
In both perspectives (teachers and students), thelearning outcomes are bound to be more meaningful and beneficial to the student as rthey apply their knowledge in the work setting. These will be the folks who gratvitate towards the leadership positions more readily.
