That’s a thoughtful post! I especially liked the emphasis on designing the classroom around learners’ needs and agency. One small suggestion: to really put students in the driver’s seat, you might try rotating roles (facilitator, question-designer, peer reviewer) so every student experiences shifting perspectives.
By the way, if anyone’s interested in platforms that promote interactive, gamified learning experiences, check out [casinopkr] — it’s built with an emphasis on engagement, instant feedback, and motivational rewards. It might offer ideas or tools you can adapt for your own classroom environment.
Overall, love the direction of this thread — learner-centered design is so necessary nowadays.
