The class atmosphere will be a relaxed, but focused, class climate where risk- taking, authentic student voice, reflective thought, and collegiality will are nourished. Critical thought and independent decision-making are elicited. Knowledge is viewed as being socially constructed and subject to change. Debate and discussion are always conducted in a climate of mutual respect and professional courtesy. Freedom to take risks is essential to continual growth.
Consistent feedback enhances constant development.
