• Teachers organize class discussions and assignments so students have opportunities to act rather
than just be passive participants in the learning process.
• Teachers take responsibility for fostering learning experiences that are meaningful for students.
• Students prepare for class by completing assignments beforehand, seeking additional information
that might pertain to class discussions, finding opportunities to teach course material to peers, and
actively applying core concepts in their individual lives.
• Students engage in class discussions and participate actively in projects and assignments. They
make comments, ask questions, answer questions, offer explanations, listen actively, and respond
when called upon
