Middle School Survival Guide
Students answer a series of questions about the 7 different teachers they have had this year. The information will be grouped by teacher and bound together so that future students can use it as a reference when they are getting to know their new teacher. Project description includes questions, due dates and point values for each question. This would also be useful for high school students; or any situation where students need to get used to multiple adults for a new school year.

Experience
14+ years teaching public education, 10 of those have been with gifted learners. I have been teaching middle school students since 2001.
Teaching style
I prefer to give students an opportunity to do hands on projects and to produce projects both individually and in groups. My classroom style is more of a manager while the students explore and learn on their own.
