I have been in schools for 5 years now. I have taught as an EL paraprofessional, working in my own classroom with students (middle and high school) on expanding their English skills. I have also worked with both EL and non-EL students and a more typical ELA literature classroom.
I prefer a hands-off approach to teaching, always working to have students lead their own discussions or their own contextualizing on the texts they read and write. I do not mind a more than usual amount of productive noise in my room and a little chaos to keep kids interested. I believe that students want to do well, so I give them challenges each day so that they can accomplish that goal.
