Teaching Style
I always try my best to help everyone in my class because I believe in my students potential. Therefore, I start with high expectation, create a vision, use data to identify areas for improvement build an instructional calendar that includes all standards assessed where students are having trouble allow for adjustments necessary to cover a target area. Ensure that classroom activities are focused and conductive to learning. Providing a warm-up with a review, focusing on new content, reinforcing newly learned concepts. Use effective teaching strategies that include: Having consistent high expectations, modeling the way to think about an issue, providng essential vocabulary as you teach math, making learning real.
