"In a Glasser Quality School there is no such thing as a closed book test. Students are told to get out their notes and open their books. There is no such thing as being forbidden to ask the teacher or another student for help"

About this Quote

William Glasser's quote speaks with the importance of cooperation and assistance in the learning procedure. In a Glasser Quality School, trainees are motivated to interact and request for help when required. This kind of learning environment cultivates a sense of community and encourages trainees to take ownership of their learning. By eliminating the pressure of a closed book test, trainees are free to explore their notes and books and request for aid when needed. This type of learning environment enables trainees to develop their own understanding of the product and motivates them to believe critically. By eliminating the worry of failure, students are more likely to take risks and check out new ideas. Eventually, this type of finding out environment allows trainees to become more confident and independent learners.
