A dream classroom would have state-of-the-art technology equipment for hands-on learning. An interdisciplinary project-based approach would replace traditional lectures. Parents and community members would regularly volunteer in classrooms and provide feedback on student assessments beyond standardized tests.

1. Imagine you have been given a huge grant (possibly from a
Microsoft or Facebook CEO) and the school administrators have
granted you permission to design your dream educational
setting. Describe your dream classroom and school setting,
including equipment, instructional approach, parent/community
involvement, and assessment. Your journal should be 1 to 1.5
typed pages or 4 to 7 developed paragraphs.
