Ideally, students will be encouraged to develop their own small learning communities of their peersin class for acquiring knowledge in the Differentiated classroom. These small learning communitieswill only be meaningful if the participants are fully engaged in the process, i.e., if they are fully presentin their interactions [35]. This quality of being fully engaged

We can characterize leadership as any behavior thatenhances, optimizes, and innovates collaboration in an organization.
