Synopsis
In this chapter, Rollins discusses how low-level work for struggling students is not engaging or useful. It covers a number of strategies that encourage collaboration and accountability for students with their peers. There is a strong correlation between the strategies mentioned and how I have been running my Literacy Circle Conversation reading programme.

Discussion
What is a teacher in the 21st Century? The world we inhabit is changing at a startling rate. As educators, we are trying to develop learners who are capable of being adaptive and competitive contributors. This applies to their future as employees and employers, citizens and family members. This is my record of how I will develop my teaching through inquiry to meet these changes.
