I think for teachers who have been teacher-centered for so long it would be too much work to create new lessons that are more student-centered. Of course, there are times when lecturing is necessary. Nevertheless, this doesn't help students to construct knowledge and employ higher order thinking skills a la Bloom. @Student advocate,

Having spent time as a science tutor, a soccer coach, a mentor to my younger sisters has given me some good insights in effective educational practicum. The bottom line is when you place the interest of your student before your own, learning will take place. I just recently learned in an education class that teacher centered practicum is not student centered-so why is this style of teaching more common than student-centered? I have come to the conclusion that the later requires more work and educational leaders are not willing to hold teachers accountable. In my former career (molecular biologist) professionals that did not use research based practices were fired. In education, it’s a whole different story. Who do we blame? I honestly think there are some teachers who need to find other careers since they are not committed to the success of others. Oops I think I stepped on someone’s toes……….
