You and I share a pedogogical point of view. While some of your vocabulary is different from mine, our actions are similar. I'm fortunate to work in a school that encourages this type of teaching.
I agree with you 100% about the time invested at the beginning of the year. All the community building pays off as the year progresses, especially as we start our projects and cooperative learning.
I wish there were more reports in the media about teachers like us. We represent all that is good in education, and others need to know it is possible.
