Teaching style
For the last seven years I have created and implemented a Game-Based design approach to 8th grade general science. In addition to this, I have utilized Universal Design protocols and have incorporated aspects of the Flipped Classroom as well. My approach to education focuses on kinesthetic learners with project-based approaches. Underlying PBIS initiatives have been employed in my classroom as a companion to my teaching style.
