Group: Dana Roeder, Sami Kakar, Abbey Johnson, Isabella Desario
We discussed in our group that we believe teachers can also learn from students while in the classroom. The group agreed with the statement as there are many way pupils could instruct teachers on many topics. All that needs to be done is open communication and discussion during class. These two keys will lead to success in the classroom for students, but it will also benefit teachers as they are learning themselves. By doing this, teachers can hear opinions and facts that they never had before from students. Having open discussion helps students and teachers alike due to the openness and ability to help form more opinions. Any type of classroom environment like this invites people to be more open to discussion of any type. Many teachers refuse to believe this because they do not view themselves as equal. Teachers may not realize it but they have a lot to learn from students. It may be general knowledge, but it could be involving todays trending topics.
