Excerpt from Book

Children learn and develop best when they are part of a community of learners-- a community in which all participants consider and contribute to one another's well-being and learning. To create such a classroom community, good teachers make a point of getting to know every child and family well. They make the effort to learn about each child's personality, abilities, interests, and ways of learning, and they work to build a strong sense of group identity among the children in the group. Toward this end, teachers plan ways for children to work and play together collaboratively, and they work to bring each child's home culture and language into the shared culture of the class.
