Teaching style
Old School Behavior Management through Lunacy. Keep 'em moving, Keep 'em busy. Utilizes gimmicks and games for all transitions. Every child needs the "toy/object" to maximize learning.
Organizes chaos by changing activities frequently. "Keeping it fresh". To achieve lofty goals personal and social respect is required by all. No exceptions! Children don't want IEPs. They want to be treated as equals. Therefore, everybody develops, drills, and; practices skills for the greater good, elevating play and raising every players' "game".
