Teaching style
I strongly believe in gamification and game based learning, flipped classroom principles, and using a wide variety of projects centering around student interests (including video games, fantasy sports, strategy games, etc.) I write, perform and produce parody songs and original raps based on class content and post them on youtube. My biggest strength in the classroom is the rapport I have with students. My wife says I am a good middle school teacher because I have a 12 year old's sense of humor!
