Chapter 4 Creating a Culture of Success

"Teachers can help by encouraging students' to contribute to building on each other, so that learning becomes the whole group's task."(70). I enjoyed this quote and thought that it is very important to have the students give their feedback. This helps to get students thinking about the subject and also allows them to hear different view points on the idea. When students are talking out loud in class it helps to keep everyone engaged and interested in the material.


This quote made me think back to high school and the classes which I enjoyed the most. The classes which everyone was involved with projects and group conversations seemed to go by the fastest and also were more enjoyable at the time. Learning the material seemed simple and easy because conversation just flowed between the students and the teacher. These contributions help to get people thinking of different perspectivies and allows insight to different thoughts on the matter. Talking and contributing in class is crucial and helps for a better understanding of the material.
