Teaching style
I believe in the importance of hands-on, exploratory learning. Although I use worksheets, I use them rarely. I do my best to incorporate higher level thinking, critical and creative thinking, and the upper levels of Bloom's Taxonomy into my assignments. I also want my students to develop strong lifelong learning skills, such as the ability to research a topic of interest, that will serve them throughout their lives.
