I am currently reading Learner-centered Teaching book by Maryellen Weimer.
Learner-centered teaching focuses on engaging and empowering students in the learning process, encouraging collaboration and a classroom community, promoting reflection about what and how students are learning, and explicitly discussing the learning process.

“He means to offer a
system in which the locus of the learning process is shifted from
the teacher to the students. And this shift overtly signifies an
altered power relationship, not only in the classroom but in the
broader social canvas as well.”
This is a quote I found interesting from the book I am currently reading about Learner centered teaching.
