Experience

Teaching style

As an AP Teacher I lean more towards a collegiate style atmosphere in my class. Kids are allowed to use their cell phones when appropriate and are encouraged to use apps to enhance their knowledge. Technology and the use of computers is highly stressed in my classroom.Though my course is lecture intensive, we do class projects bi-weekly and spend quite a bit of time allowing the kids to explore their creative side. My course is writing intensive and we work on writing skills on an almost daily basis.
