Teaching style
My #1 rule I tell students is "you can't hurt my feelings" - I embrace the flexibility of learning and finding ways to adapt teaching to find the right fit for each student to experience that lightbulb feeling of understanding.
I strive to explore ways that I can connect learning skills to real-world concepts.
The more color, the better! I mean, who doesn't want to learn when glitter and color are involved?
