Creating a Play - Group Roles and Management
Using these guidelines and group work norms, recreate (or create) a play with student-focused groups and leadership. Before starting, I usually have the student audition for their roles and choose where they would be most comfortable. From there, students are put into groups based on their role. After the plays, the audience completes a google form - based on each teams' student-create rubrics. Their grade is formulated from the averages on that Google Form.

Teaching style
My teaching style is very much student oriented. Through Modern Classrooms approach, SEL angles, project-based learning, restorative practices, and student-centered learning, I try to emulate the type of teacher I always needed when I was a kid: one that made learning count, one that made learning personal, and one that cared.

Additional biographical information
While I don't actively support teachers paying for more things with the very little financial, emotional, societal support they get, the idea of sharing and supporting one another is very much what's needed in education, and I want nothing more than to support, engage with, and learn from other teachers.
