Teaching style

Students in my class learn by experience, collaboration, research, experimentation, and MAKING MISTAKES! We use technology to research, practice concepts, and engage in online experiments. Students' ideas are always encouraged. Peer tutoring, flexible choices, and UDL are a big part of the dynamics of the learning that occurs in this classroom.
