“In a classroom functioning as a community of learners, organization involves dynamic and complementary group relations among class members who learn to take responsibility for their contribution to their own learning and to the group’s functioning. Instead of a teacher attempting to address and manage many students as one recipient of instruction, trying to treat them as an unit, the organization involves a community working together with all serving as resources to the others, with varying roles according to their understanding of the activity at hand at differing (and shifting) responsibilities in the system.”
