at hand. In this classroom model, the teacher

teacher gives up all control of the classroom.
While students are encouraged to learn in
different ways, the teacher till provides
guidance as to the skills that need to be
acquired. The teacher can make a point of
helping students to understand how the skills
they are building can be applied in their lives.
Students will be much more motivated to learn
something that they can see the value in.
