Teaching style

BALANCE. I love to utilize various best practices to create a perfect balance for my students. Most of my lessons included time for direct instruction, time for inquiry, and time for student collaboration. The balance of utilizing various instructional strategies from problem-based learning to project-based learning allowed me to generate assessment of student learning in multiple ways throughout a lesson.
