Teaching style
I subscribe to the “productive struggle” camp. The materials I develop, and the teaching I practice aims to meet students where they are, provide multiple pathways for student engagement, and promote the development of problem-solving abilities. While accuracy and precision in mathematics is absolutely important and something I love, I want to emphasize problem solving above answer getting. I strive to help students develop the skills they need to develop independence and grit.
