Teaching style
I believe the old Chinese Proverb “Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” I think students learn best by doing; therefore, kinesthetic activities need to be implemented as much as possible. The more student independent activities that can be incorporated into the curriculum the better.
