4. What is a Learning Center?
A self-contained section of the
classroom in which students
engage in independent and self-
directed learning activities.
A space set aside in the classroom
that allows easy access to a variety
of learning materials, designs, and
media through which students can
work by themselves or with others
to operationalize the information
learned in the classroom in an
interesting and productive manner.

5. Also Known As Rotation Centers
These designated spaces allow
children to work collaboratively by
accomplishing activities given an
allotted amount of time and rotating
to the next center after they have
each completed a task.

6. No matter where a
learning center is
located or whether
it is always standing,
the only firm
requirement is that
it is a space in which
children can work
together to solve
problems.

as a model of curriculum design, it
contains topics and units of study
that are rearranged and
sequenced to coincide with each
other.
Similar ideas are taught at the
same time, while still remaining
separate subjects.

9. The Parallel
Curriculum Model
have a background
in the education of
gifted learners.
PCM links the discipline to other
disciplines across time periods,
locations, cultures, social,
economical, political and
technological conditions;
therefore it personalizes student
learning by drawing connections
between their experiences,
interests, passion, and prior
knowledge, with the use of
disciplinary concepts and skills to
investigate, then it guides
students in understanding their
strengths by reflecting .
