    • Abstract:
      This article describes a diverse style of teaching that can be adopted by school administrators and teachers who are interested in creating a school culture where success is nurtured using a community approach. This community approach of teaching is built on a pedagogy Lourie Davis developed and named Village Style Learning (VSL). This style of teaching liberates the student's mind through the doorway of experiential and community learning. The pedagogy of VSL is a community approach that promotes modes of understanding, critically examining and learning from concrete experiences. These methods can be adopted by school administrators and teachers who are interested in creating a culture where success is nurtured using a community approach. Within this community approach of VSL, everyone becomes part of a village, and each village becomes part of a community.
