Here you see the first-grade teacher Tanya involved in a read-aloud with students in a bilingual class. Note the hand waving celebration for a student in her lap. The teacher describes how students are working on a variety of projects of their own choice. Observe what we have learned to call “learning noise”, students really involved in their learning activities. The teacher describes her role in the class. This is a class obviously set up for students to perform at their own ability level but with support from the teacher or other students as needed.
