conversation that took place. He explained
that although people may have different
opinions, you do not have to automatically
discredit them as a person. He also modeled
how to disagree with someone while having a
collegial spirit. Students seemed to enjoy
conversing with their peers during class. It
was evident that Mr. Smith had created an
environment in which students were open to
share their feelings freely without judgement.
