Teaching style
I am a theatre teacher who teaches a variety of modalities and styles. These styles include kinesthetic, visual, auditory, reading/writing. I have found that students learn best when they have different options and the opportunity to get up and move around. I will provide different bellringer and warm up activities that a teacher of any content area can benefit from as well as an arts educator.
