On the teaching side, didactic planning dominates, while on the learning side, life thrives! This tension is addressed by the innovative approach of this book: teaching and learning are inseparably connected - and the outcome is unpredictable. Teachers face this challenge daily and are evaluated based on their success in achieving set goals. With its learner-centered approach, the author team lays the groundwork for a personalized understanding of learning and demonstrates practically how these insights impact teaching. Thinking from the learner's perspective and teaching responsively means shaping teaching based on learning. Eight core ideas lead to the central themes of learner-oriented orientation. Recommendations for learner-centered teaching practices and critical dialogues from expert perspectives encourage implementation in one's own classroom.
