READING
The ClassroomChildren engaged in their learning in different spaces in the classroom, they work in groups, with the teacher, individually or as a whole class.
Students are involved in different activities within the same lesson as their learning is planned and targeted to meet their individual needs.
Collaboration (student-student/student-teacher) is valued in a setting where students are provided with opportunities to develop their ideas and pursue their own interests.
Thinking and learning (learning by experience) is valued with learning-focussed discussion involved in all learning experiences. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1JWr4G8YLM&feature=player_embedded Piaget Video: The Constructivist
