CLASS DYNAMICS: Exploring Classroom Interactions

IMAGE: Two dynamic torsos moving in ripples of space-time with fractal distortions.

Melissa: What class dynamics are going on here?

Tim:     How can we know? There are so many levels of interaction in every class. 
         We only catch a fraction of what's going on.

Melissa: Let me be honest and say I don't agree with this whole concept of "levels."
         Doesn't that create an artificial hierarchy?

Tim:     Okay. Fair enough.

Melissa: And isn't it tiring to focus on so much?

Tim:     Not really, especially if you do it playfully. If you don't enjoy exploring 
         what goes on in class, you're probably shouldn't be a teacher.
