TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my 8th year of teaching.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I want to teach in a way that inspires my students to be life long learners. To do this I will create a positive classroom environment. I set clear expectations that allow students to learn and develop in the beginning of the school year. I always allow students to interact and state their opinions. I include students in decision making and give them choices. I will teach students that our classroom is a safe fun place away from home.
