Students complete a checklist to assess their teacher's style in transition year, marking whether their teacher never, sometimes, or often uses various student-centered teaching methods like group work, discussion, projects, role-play, trips, guest speakers, and technology. The checklist aims to help teachers reflect on incorporating active and engaging learning strategies that promote responsibility and discussion over traditional lecturing and individual work.
