Learner Centred Learning is at the heart of Socratic Projects and WCHN . Learner Centred Learning makes the following positive assumptions:

  - everyone has an infinite capacity to learn
  - we are all different and we learn in different ways
  - knowledge and wisdom develop from within
 
The inspiration to learn comes from realising that personal power comes from within and that learning is a natural ability which every human being posseses.

Win Wenger sums up the essence of Learner Centred Learning in his book, 'Beyond Teaching and Learning'

“One of the best, most immediate ways we know of to become a more potent person is: to begin making your own observations, articulating, expressing, recording those observations. As you do so your observations, perceptions and ideas will come unstuck and will evolve!'

Much of Wenger's approach is based on the practice on the Socratic approach to learning. For more details on Socratic Learning follow this link to our PREZI. This was the basis of an INSET day with teachers at Noadswood school in Southampton in 2011.
