Teaching style
My teaching style is a student-centered approach where students are in charge of their learning with the teacher as a guide or facilitator. I have students work collaboratively to problem-solve and think critically. I tend to follow an "I do, We do, You do" routine guide students through the content. I also incorporate the design thinking process for students to work through.
