Work Stations, as described by Debbie Diller, are a great way to provide independent practice for your students at their individual levels.

Experience

After 30 years in the classroom (all at the same school in Louisiana), I retired from teaching. I taught 1st grade for fifteen years and 2nd grade for fifteen years. I was the director of our summer camp for three years and worked both before and after school programs. I also worked as the web designer & manager and technology point person for our school.

Teaching style

I always ran an orderly classroom, but I also believe that students must be given responsibilities in order to learn how to be responsible. I used a mini-society in my classroom to help build a community of learners. I enjoyed using hands-on center activities to teach my students, instead of JUST a textbook. I differentiated instruction for both low- and high-performing students.
