Develop a working style Use what they know to show what they know: student interests can be explored in visual form. Form cooperative groups and engage in positive social interactions Take responsibility for care of materials and centers.

He approached the teacher with his plan in September. He and his friends worked on it for 7 months. Other students in class were influenced to work on smaller versions. The teacher served as a materials resource and offered technical advice, as well as negotiating extra work time for them.

- 67. We face a critical need for innovative thinkers in the 21st century. The arts are one of the few places left in the curriculum where students can take creative ownership of their learning. Valuing students' ideas and arranging the classroom for child-centered authentic learning promotes deep inquiry and reflection for all learners in our diverse school communities. Diane Jaquith, 2008
