MY TEACHING STYLE

Student-centered direct instruction with critical and layered higher-order questioning, while modeling passion and scholarship, and creating opportunities for meaningful performance-based assessment. The larger meaning or purpose behind the learning comes first, as concepts for life and the larger world that can pertain to anyone are at the heart of vastly relatable lessons.
