Teaching style

I always thought the greatest compliment was when a substitute teacher would leave me a note reading, "The room runs itself." To me that meant the classroom was well-organized and I had instilled such consistent procedures and routines that the students knew exactly what to do at all times of the day. I truly feel students should be given choices in how and what they learn. I strive to help make busy teachers' lives easier so they have more time to dedicate to making learning fun and making each of their students feel special.
