Teachers and parents in a community of learners

AbstractReframing the school culture as a community of learners creates a context in which many new insights can be generated.

The future will be in the hands of the children who are in school today. What are we doing as teachers to prepare them for the challenges? John Dewey said, “What the best and wisest parents want for his own child that must be what the community wants for all its children.
