3.  His belief was that students should learn from real life experiences and examples by being involved in tasks and challenges in the classroom.  Felt that students needed to be taught to be problem solvers instead of being spoon fed information to reiterate back to the teacher.  Also felt it was educations job to help students learn how to cooperate with others in the outside world for when they got there.

9.  Dewey argued that learning and education are “social and interactive processes” because of this, our classroom is set up in a way that allows for communication of ideas and collaboration.  Believed that students thrive when they are allowed to interact with the curriculum. Essentially, he believed students should take part and take interest in their learning. Stations will be set up around the room that involve science, art, math, grammar, reading, and history all linking back to the main unit of studying.

10.  The teacher is a facilitator/guide, the teachers desk is set up in a corner facing outward with a comfortable chair next to it. This allows the teacher to watch the class, and is set up for the teacher and student to discuss the unit.  Hands on learning: Stations also contribute to getting physically involved with learning. At each station the students have an opportunity to experiment/create/build.

11.  The carpet in the back of the room is the meeting place. On Friday afternoons the class meets at the carpet to discuss what they learned/discovered that week.  Student desks are in the center of the room so that they can interact. Democracy within education was also important to Dewey.

12.  Shelving is in place to display how students choose to accomplish their lessons. It also inspires conversation amongst students.  The supply drawers next to each station contain many many materials and project guides that are designed to spark learning.
