I am currently teaching 7th and 8th grade ELA in a Utah public school.
I prefer to facilitate as students use their own critical thinking skills and creativity to learn. I believe in providing ample amounts of scaffolding so that students feel confident as they try new things. I love hands-on learning as long as it actually requires higher-level thinking and isn't just there for the sake of being fun or cute!
