I can't get enough of new research and old style. I love my students unconditionally and think of them as part pf my family. I love using technology and new ideas. I will try anything at least once. My classroom is a structured home to many free choice activities, lots of cooperative learning, and usually lots of fun. I believe in Intentional activities and the 6 standards of Effective Pedagogy. This means that I believe in student voice/student choice, as well as collaborative work and helping kids understand that they CAN make a difference in our world.
