Barbara et al. state that learning is for all, all the educational elements, for young learners, teachers and even for parents. As the best and effective learning is based on collaboration with young learners, teachers and parents to learn in a typical community of learners. So, the effective learning can be achieved by the collaboration with all stakeholders' engagement. From this point, the stakeholders' engagement becomes the philosophy of the educational settings and this creates effective discussions about the educational aspects of the curriculum development and the way by which can be offered. Hence, we can find that young learners, teachers and parents have been in joint learning process. Therefore, the effective learning is related directly to the relation between learners, teachers and parents as well.

Excerpt from the Book
D) The effective teacher.
Teachers are the backbone of learning process as they play the essential role in learning process to facilitate and illustrate the content and knowledge for learners. Hence, the characteristics of teachers which qualify them to be effective teachers have to be clear and achievable. (Meador, 2016) suggests ten qualities must be obtained by every teacher to be effective as follows:
1- The effective teacher enjoys and loves teaching. This quality should be possessed by every teacher. When teachers have a love and passion for teaching, he is motivated to teach better than the day before.
2- The effective teacher concerns on caring about hie.her learners personally. The effective teacher should show personal caring towards every learner. Forming this relationship between teachers and learners takes a long time and needs patience. When forming this personal relationship, there is no limit for imagination of learner's achievements.
