Multiple student roles in the classroom dynamic.

Of course students have multiple roles in the classroom. Obviously they are learners, but that is a generalization. They explore and apply knowledge. But they also have other roles like motivator and tutor. Peer tutoring is very important where I work. Students can also be cleaners, secretaries, teachers, and many other things. We rarely find ourselves in any situation where we are only functioning in one role. So it doesn't make sense to try and fit students into just one role. These multiple roles allow for students to feel successful everyday even if the topic of the lesson is something they don't do well with.
