Teaching style
My teaching style was very diverse. I believed in giving the students a variety of teaching techniques which ranged from: whole class lectures, power point lessons (with music, sounds, and animations), as well as share pair lessons, jig-sawing lessons, small groups, large group projects, and independent lessons. (I taught many students in a wide spectrum of learning styles and abilities. (ELL - English Language Learners, Special Education and GATE - Gifted and Talented Education students).
