    • Sage on the Stage vs. Guide on the Side
       
        "A good teacher knows when to act as  Sage on the Stage and when to act as a Guide on  the Side. Because student-centred learning  can be time-consuming and messy, efficiency will sometimes argue for the Sage. When  students are busy making up their own minds, the role of the teacher shifts.  When questioning, problem-solving and  investigation become the priority classroom activities, the teacher becomes a Guide on the  Side."
    • Jamie McKenzie's article The WIRED Classroom  provides a list  of descriptors of the role  of a teacher who is a Guide  on the Side while students are conducting their investigations.   "... the teacher is circulating, redirecting, disciplining,  questioning, assessing, guiding, directing, fascinating, validating, facilitating, moving,  monitoring, challenging, motivating, watching, moderating, diagnosing, trouble-shooting,  observing, encouraging, suggesting, watching, modeling and clarifying."
