Describe your teaching.
I teach with the children not at the children. I prefer an interactive mode where the students are part of the teaching process. They are asked to read ahead and formulate thoughts or questions to kick start the day. We utilize the smart baord and online textbook so the students hear another person teaching them as well.
I attempt to make this a real world relationship whether it is math or science. I have brought in guest speakers to speak about Sharon Harris. The students make vocabulary dictionaries with illustrations to show they know the meanings of the terms they are using. They teach portions of the science chapters which brings the information in a format that is fun, i.e., games like jeopardy or a go-cart game.
In essence, I do not just lecture. We use manipulatives and make manipulatives to further our understanding of the topic.
Gotta go now and work on my game. More later.
