Teaching style

I prefer an active approach to learning that favors project-based learning and problem-based learning. In my classroom students get to practice new skills often, they learn to debug and troubleshoot problems by being resourceful, and they get to move around and make creative artifacts with the skills they acquire. In my experience the gamification of lessons and assessments has been a big hit with students and admin.
