I have taught all my life. I have taught in Germany for 3 years before coming to the USA. I taught for 5 years in the university level, 2 years in middle school, and 24 years in Elementary.
I teach mainly in cooperative groups or in peer centered teaching. My students also learn in stations and small group settings. Independent practice and stations work wonders for my students. Whole group is reinforced in small group and practiced with a friend or independently in stations.
