At my school I see that the laws for equal education have affected so many kids. Especially those who are learning another language. It makes it vary hard to make learning equal when they dont understand the language it is being taught in.

I love that the students get to pick because it makes them so excited to do the activities even if they are related to math or spelling.  What does the cooperative teacher do to encourage a positive classroom community?   a sixth grade teacher I observe treats the class as a team and encourages them to work well together. during the first few weeks of school she kept the whole class in from recess to help them understand what they had done wrong and then encouraged them to do better. the whole time she was reassuring them that the would rather be with them then anywhere else. that she knew they could do so m...
