The document summarizes interviews conducted with three English teachers at a technical high school to determine their knowledge and application of cognitive and constructivist educational theories. The interviews asked teachers about their goals for student learning and competency, the teacher and student roles in the classroom, and strategies used to engage students and evaluate learning through projects, participation, and self-assessment rather than solely test results. The interviews showed that the teachers aim to support student-led learning through collaborative work and problem-solving based on multiple intelligences and knowledge construction.
