has proven to be effective. A study conducted on Alaskan Yupik tribe students, which integrated the tribe’s culture with standardized curriculum. The results were Yupik students in the program learned math quicker, retained more information, and enjoyed math more than Yupik students who were not in the program [22]. Students saw greater academic success when their teachers exhibited a strong belief in the students learning ability, provided the curriculum in context to each student's lives, and established caring relationships with students. At times it is best that students teach their teachers on how to best teach them. Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools implemented a successful program called Student Six to help train teachers onhow to better

They found that “the shared hardship was likened to a bootcamp mentality seen as binding students into a shared identity” (p. 12). This “shared identity”may help students feel a sense of belonging. There may be ways to promote these academic andsocial benefits of peer relations within the classroom or curriculum. For example, Meeuwisseand colleagues’ [26] found that more cooperative learning environments had a positive impact onstudents’ formal and informal interactions with peers and faculty, which in turn had a positiveimpact on students’ sense of belonging.Ong and colleagues [6] described a
