Teaching style
My teaching style varies based on the learners within my specific classrooms and the learning content. One of the best compliments I receive is from subs that leave notes saying how amazed they were by how well-run and organized my classes are. So many subs often don't want to sub for PE due to the "chaos" but I keep a tight, consistent structure for my classes with safe, but FUN activities.
