**5.2 Takeaways: what is the significance for health educators? How do we continue to build our skills and improve our practice?**

We need to remain learner centered in our planning and educating. Our practice should incorporate personalizing learning for our students as much as possible and acknowledge what our students brings to the learning relationship. When we can help our students build or construct their health knowledge and health literacy skills, they deliberately add new knowledge to their previous knowledge. This elevates them to a more powerful degree of knowing and doing. We need to design lessons and experiences that actively engage them as learners. As health educators, we should learn with our students, earn their trust as they share knowledge, ideas, aspirations, fears, and success.
