Teaching style
I love mixing it up. In a middle school environment, it is sometimes necessary to need to lecture. Still, I try to always include a hands-on experience or some form of technology in each lesson to keep their motivation high. Excited, motivated, engaged students will only make me more excited and motivated to be a better teacher.
