Teaching style
I am a always looking to improve my practice as a teacher. This results in new ideas of student inquiry, student centered approaches, differentiated instruction, and targeting learning styles of students. I believe that the teacher is the leader in the classroom and guides students through their own inquiry. In my classroom students sit in groups from day one. We work as a team to make things run smoothly. Students work where they are comfortable even if that means under my desk, in a closet, or laying on the floor. I try to use technology as a tool to bring the world into my classroom. I love my job!!
