Teaching style
From my experiences I learned that while individual student's needs vary, the key to a successful classroom is engaging and meaningful lesson plans. While teaching, I tried as much as possible to make my activities authentic and my lessons applicable to their lives. I'm very excited about what I'm creating and I think you will be, too.
