Teaching style
I like movement, action, and noise! I allow my students organized discussion throughout my teaching with lots of movement, partnering up with different personalities and hands-on learning. I allow music to help coordinate different elements of the lesson and engage in cheesy cheers, which the kids come to love! We are always expressing ourselves, allowing multiple opportunities for our true personalities to show. This contributes to a safe learning environment, where all personalities are respected and expected to shine!
