The Creative Learning Community has social interaction as its foundation. Through conversation learning
is stimulated. In order to learn creatively the child needs to be inwardly
activated. The teacher in the classroom needs to provide the right
environment or zone of proximal development, which means to set a goal which
the learner must strive for, but it is not unreachable. The more interactively and
creatively the conversation develops, the more perspectives the
student reaches and broadening his or her knowledge. These social
interactions or collaborative learnings need to come to an agreement.
Vygotsky called it "Distributed Learning Environment". We can summarize
it into three points. */
/**/
/*!. Student*/
/*2Learning resources*/
/*3. Learning environment*/
/*Firstly, we need to find the right environment in which the student can
learn.*/
/*Secondly, we need to find Inspiration, the aid for learning ,the
source of all learning*/
/*Thirdly, we have to find the cognitive tools which are the technical
facilities. */
/**/
/*We are also urged to be flexible in viewing the child in different
learning styles . Here we encounter the Theories of Bruner who claimed that we are different learners in multifaceted
environments. The teacher is placed in an important role within the
social relationships. He has the greatest impact on the learner,
as John Hattie says . The affirmation the teacher gives the student is
significant for the social interaction and the learning outcomes. That
means the teacher needs to have an engaging relationship with the group of
children he is teaching.*/

/*To work in a good team, three basic conditions need to be established : */
/*1. The student himself in so far as where he is placed or belongs .
A feeling o belonging gives him/her security. The child must feel equal in the group so eye
contact is important within the whole group.*/
/*2.As a teacher it is important to study the body language from each
individual, as it tells us a lot of messages that the words may not. So the soul mood affects the whole team and their
outcome . */
/*3.Everybody should feel a sense of place , belonging and comfort.*/

/**/

/*The next step is to build up effective time. Time is precious so
there for everyone should be aware not to waste time but treasure it and
work effectively. Each individual can rise to the occasion in the
special time and unfold their hidden gifts of ideas .In order to do
this, trust is required which is easily reached in actual listening to
the person. Real listening towards a human being is essetnial to build up trust.*/

/*The consequences of a group working effectively together are extrodinary. The saying goes: "ordinary people working together effectively achieving extraodinary things".*/

/*This creative learning community produces young creative people which are very effective in their learning abilities. The provision of the resources and the supervion of the affirmation, is what we call a costructivst enviroment.*/
