Perfectly Practical

I have taught grade 6, grade 5, grade 3/4, grade 2/3 and am now a Special Education Resource Teacher. All this since 2010!

I believe that students need to be responsible for their learning. My job is to teach them the skills they need to become independent. Most of my lessons involve me modelling skills to the whole class and releasing students to work in small groups or individually to practice those skills. Students also need to take responsibility to attempt to answer questions before going to adults. My classroom is full of reminders in the form of posters and displays to help students become independent.
