Schools That Work Schools that Work These schools that were on in this movie had several ideas that made them work. In Manhattan Kansas they taught their students with cooperative learning. In this type of learning the students get into groups to work and solve problems. By the students working together they learned to talk among each other and solve their problems. The students took this what they learned with them into society when they get older. At Colombia Park Elementary School they used the award system. Correct answers were applauded. If a student got the answer wrong, they had a choice of trying again on their own or getting help from another student, either way the student decides to solve the problem they are applauded when they give the correct answer. This gives the student a sense of self-esteem. In Lowell Massachusetts School they intertwined the real word with school activities. The students are in a Micro-Society four hours each day. This is where the students have jobs at the school, just like in the real world.
