o.+Chapter+15+-+Make+It+Cool+to+Care


 * Summary Goes Here This chapter talked about making it cool to care. By creating an environment where people care about each other we are not only creating a good learning environmet but also preparing them for life where those that are able to get along with people will be successful. The author talked about a teacher she had, Mrs. Heart. She stated that Mrs.Heart was not preparing her students for the state test but rather she was preparing students for life. She stated that teaching was all about getting along with others, treating everyone one with respect and doing your best. If we as teachers could create an environment where it was cool to care we could create a great learning environment and students would learn. Throughout my teaching career I have tried to provide a learning environment where people treated everyone with respect. I have always felt that was a key component in becoming an effective teacher. This chapter just reinforced some of the beliefs I have always had.**
