The Global Achievement Gap: Chapter 6

5 main points: Today's successfull schools have these things in common
- A different kind of school: These schools have personalization, real-world connections, and they all hold a common intellectual mission.
- A different kind of teacher: Teaching is different because the teachers focus is on the individual student. It is more of a student-centered philosophy on education.
- A different kind of student: The students are excited about school and they are confident in themselves because of their school and teachers. Creating an atmosphere of excitement makes students excited to learn.
- Successful schools are diverse: different kids do best in different kinds of environments. Diverse environments create learning opportunities. Kids learn from each other.
- Schools/ teachers listen to students and adjust accordingly: Student and teachers have better relationships. It is all about the students need. Whatever that can be done to improve the education of a student is done.
