Teaching style

My instruction is definitely student-centered. I differentiate my instruction and grouping throughout the day according to my students' needs. I target student needs by grouping them by similar levels in reading and math. I schedule blocks in both subjects to meet with these groups daily. This gives me the opportunity to assess and differentiate my instruction further. I set goals with each of my students and we celebrate accomplishments. In my experience of teaching language learners, I have also witnessed the power of collaborative learning. It's amazing to see how much faster students learn a language when they interact with students that are more fluent and also learn skills from each other.
