  • LYNDA FRASER: What I'd like to do is look at each of these

  • areas, since we're saying there's appropriate times to

  • use them, right?

  • Right times to use them.

  • And times when it's not ---

  • We teach the theory that goes along with

  • high performance work groups.

  • So students actually learn the theory and they have

  • an opportunity to practice creating and making their

  • own high performance work group.

  • This classroom was a dream for me in that way.

  • We talk about the fact that it's really important ---

  • MEERA PATEL: Teachers sometimes generally have this persona of,

  • "I'm the teacher, you're the student.

  • I know everything."

  • Well, in this class it was completely different.

  • LYNDA FRASER: So conflict, then, can ---

  • MEERA PATEL: One of the first things that I noticed when

  • I was in the classroom was the position of

  • the teacher's podium.

  • It was right in the centre of the classroom.

  • Students have access to the teacher and the teacher

  • has access to the students to see, you know, what,

  • what exactly is going on.

  • LYNDA FRASER: Not having a front of the class means also

  • that you don't have a back of the class and you don't have

  • a fixed place for the professor to sit.

  • That moved me a little bit out of my comfort zone.

  • I tried to stand in different parts of the classroom

  • so that all of the students would be more physically close

  • to me at one time or another.

  • I think there was a little bit of a discomfort, still,

  • for the students who were used to the more traditional,

  • "Let me just go and hide and be quiet

  • in the back of the class."

  • I mean, there's no place to hide in this classroom.

  • Everybody is engaged.

  • The envelopes on your desk have the style that your team

  • is assigned to explore.

  • So you can open those right now.

  • See what your team, what your team has.

  • [applause]

  • LYNDA FRASER: The round tables have an amazing impact

  • on the teams, on the teams being able to face one another,

  • to communicate, have good eye contact.

  • STUDENT: We said we'd delay it later, we'll discuss it later.

  • STUDENT: So okay, let's talk it the next weekend.

  • Let's don't just ---

  • STUDENT: But that's just avoiding.

  • STUDENT: That's not avoiding.

  • That's not what I do.

  • I do agree with whatever ---

  • ANGELA MARZO: The round table leads discussions.

  • They enable our interactions as a, as a group, as a team.

  • LYNDA FRASER: And also for me to be with them.

  • I could be part of a team at any point to advise and guide them.

  • That was very, very helpful.

  • STUDENT: In order to achieve ---

  • LYNDA FRASER: Another thing about the classroom that had

  • a big impact are the boards behind the tables for the

  • students to work.

  • We use them regularly.

  • It was a wonderful opportunity for the whole team

  • to work together.

  • The students took turns writing and I think it

  • also made them more confident about speaking out

  • and being in the whole classroom.

  • I mean, that, for me, was very different.

  • Usually there's a big deal, "Oh, who's going to

  • be the spokesperson?"

  • It's always the same people.

  • But I find the design of the room gave us an opportunity

  • for more of an equality.

  • I think the students, all of the students felt more engaged,

  • more a part of the team, more a part of the whole class.

  • DANIELLE PALMIOTTO: We had to collaborate as a team

  • to discover what one could do to help the situation.

  • And we're able to write on the wall, sorry.

  • And demonstrate our ideas not only to our group,

  • visually, but to the rest of the classroom.

  • ANGELA MARZO: We actually build a case, they answer

  • to the case in the computer, and for some teams,

  • they were able to show the results, on the screen.

  • DANIELLE PALMIOTTO: And since the laptops on the

  • computer are foldable, we're able to just fold

  • them down and see ---

  • ANGELA MARZO: Yeah.

  • DANIELLE PALMIOTTO: --- everybody at a table, you know?

  • And share information like that.

  • STUDENT: So what's going on?

  • STUDENT: Yeah, an example is ---

  • LYNDA FRASER: There were students who probably

  • would not have been so engaged in another kind of classroom,

  • who were initially uncomfortable.

  • But I think, I think in the long run, they became

  • more comfortable because they were forced to.

  • And then they got used to that.

  • And then they discovered parts of themselves that I think

  • they didn't know were there.

  • That, in fact, they could speak in a classroom and

  • they could speak out loud.

  • STUDENT: This person could possibly end up feeling

  • very isolated because no one will work with them.

  • LYNDA FRASER: That's a pretty powerful idea, Anne.

  • Have you ever heard anybody say that?

  • You've heard somebody say that?

  • STUDENT: I do.

  • LYNDA FRASER: You do that?

  • STUDENT: Yes.

  • LYNDA FRASER: What do you say?

  • STUDENT: Well, I say about my -- our shortcomings,

  • in the beginning, and I say that usually -- or I, I --

  • I believe that people think that I'm ---

  • MEERAL PATEL: It's great when you can hear somebody else's

  • ideas and it's, it's basically a missed opportunity when

  • you don't hear the person expressing their, their --

  • their ideas.

  • STUDENT: And listening more to other people's opinions.

  • Open their minds a little bit.

  • Respect other people's -- other people's ideas.

  • STUDENT: Yeah.

  • LYNDA FRASER: I'm now reading the student learning logs.

  • For the first time, I have not seen any team complain about

  • somebody who was not engaged, who pulled out,

  • who had an easy ride, who was a couch potato.

  • Now, isn't that something?
