The responsibilities of today's educational institutions far exceed basic education. Aside from academics, schools are also responsible for developing citizens who can identify and rectify social injustices. Preparing students to engage in transformative practice requires student-centered classrooms wherein students first reflect on themselves and become aware of their belief systems, and then take ownership of their own learning by means of choice and decision making. The goal is for students to develop critical thinking skills that will carry over into their evaluations of the world as a whole and the choices that they make to initiate social change.
