Student’s Role: An important discussion before you begin. Student’s have a new role that requires their responsibility. Teachers are partnering with their students. Must talk to them about the responsibility of their role. The skills of both the teachers and the students require mutual respect.

Brainstorm with students acceptable behavior in this new model. What does it look like? Dr. Carole Redline
