Katie Martin
Learner-Centered Mindsets and Beliefs

Evolving Education

In Evolving Education, Dr. Katie Martin advocates for a much-needed shift to a learner-centered teaching model.

This book offers a deep dive into how educators can harness new technologies, learning sciences, and pedagogy that center learners and learning.
