Teachers
In early grades the teachers role is to foster the child's sense of imagination and play. By doing so the child learns empathy and understanding of others. As the grades progress the teacher takes on a more traditional role, teaching lessons and guiding exploration of these lessons. The teachers are looped with their students for eight years, meaning that teachers teach the same children and different curriculum all eight years before moving back to kindergarten.
Studnets
Students are there to do the "work" of play, imagination, and exploration. This really is hard work, please see attached video.
