Assessment: Teacher-centered or Learner-centered?

I agree with my results [that I am strongly learner-centered]. I believe that because I come from a social work background, I naturally try to help people help themselves. However, as a new faculty member, I tried to adopt the teacher-centered orientation at the advice of another faculty member. Ick! It did not work for me at all and did not work well in my classroom. One month into the semester, I ditched those methods and went back to my learner-centered approach. It worked much better and definately improved the feel of my classroom.
