Student agency and engagement is very important to my instruction. As much as possible I want students to be active participants in their learning (hands on as much as possible) and demonstrate their understanding in authentic ways. I have used a multitude of approaches including: - flipped classrooms - synchronous and asynchronous virtual learning - station models

I have been a varsity lacrosse coach since 2009. Coaching is just a different form of teaching in my mind. Working with individual players and the team as a whole have given me many ideas and strategies to use in my classroom instruction.
