Teaching style
I am a very visual teacher. I love to have movement in the classroom (yes, I am PE certified and Business Ed). I would also add the word "tangible." I prefer hands on activities, real life scenarios, bright, vivid, and clean presentation, whether it is on screen, text, etc., mixed with a relaxed, cooperative, light environment...including a pinch of humor.
