With the advent of technology and the move away from a manufacturing economy, there is currently a paradigm shift occurring in the expectations for graduates entering the workforce in the United States. Today’s workers are expected to be fluent in 21 century skills and will most likely transition between various jobs throughout their working career. However, most schools are still educating students in a way that was developed for the industrial economy of decades ago. In addition to not providing adequate preparation teacher perception, a key indicator for student engagement and success, can be negatively affected by the structure of today’s schools. One pedagogy, Student Centered Learning (SCL), has been used by some schools to help combat these issues. The purpose of this case study was to explore whether SCL could help prepare students with the skills they need for today’s workforce while also increasing student self-efficacy. Social Cognitive Theory was used as the theoretical framework for this study. Participants included three teachers, one administrator and six students from a SCL school located in the Northeast of the United States. Through the review of interviews, observations and other artifacts collected, two themes, each with three subthemes, emerged as key factors in the increase of student selfefficacy. First, it was obvious that finding student passion was at the heart of what this SCL school accomplishes. Once this was found, the sub-themes of student led learning, student happiness and 21 century skills were found to flow naturally. Secondly, the theme of changing the educational system emerged, which included the sub-themes of the advisory approach, connecting learning to the real world and community.
