Transformative learning aims to present authentic opportunities for students to actively engage in their learning, developing and applying critical thinking skills to new situations. These learning opportunities often involve a shift in perspective as students come to understand worldviews and opinions apart from their own.
Educators can create transformative learning opportunities through providing multimodal learning environments. Multimodal teaching, in turn, supports the development of multi-literate students. Technology is an incredible tool for creating transformative and multimodal learning experiences which foster students who are multi-literate and expressive of the curricular core competencies. Through transformative learning, students can become engaged producers of meaningful content instead of passive receivers of knowledge.
Passionate educators have the opportunity to reach all students through differentiated, transformative learning.
