Over the course of 16 years I have taught a myriad of different age levels and subject matter. I have also coached 5 different sports as well as academic decathlon.
I am a huge fan of many genres. I believe in experiential learning but I also find teaching kids in all grades how to read and read for learning increases their overall ability in all subject matter. I believe taking notes is a valuable tool but finding ways to make a lesson meaningful for kids should hold top priority.
