Kyle from Greenfield, MA
While my experience is limited to one semester, my experience has been that teachers are interested in students learning and do this is non-traditional ways which include classroom discussion and the application of the psychology of how we learn. I've been blown away by the critical thinking that has been encouraged especially in addressing issues concerning race, gender, class and disability. Concepts are applied to real life issues so that students are able to relate to topics and retain information more effectively.
