Teaching style
I love to engage my students in an environment that is rigorous, comforting, and entertaining. Students enjoy my classroom because I make a sincere effort to get to know them and allow them to drive the instruction in our classroom. My classroom is 1 to 1 with Google Chromebooks and it allows for students to influence the instruction and take the lead in their own learning experience.
