Abstract

A saying in the literature of collaborative learning scolds us teachers for being too fond of the sound of our own voices: “You need to be less of the ‘Sage on the Stage’ and more of the ‘Guide on the Side.’” The night of my “best class” this saying really hit home to me. I was the Guide on the Side, and the students took over the teaching– and the learning.
