This is my 10th year of teaching- 4 years in Physical Science (1 of those in 8th grade) and 6 years in Biology. I also teach I.B. Biology and Environmental Science.
I use just about every teaching strategy that I know about at some point throughout the year. I love using cooperative learning groups throughout the stages of instruction to encourage interdependence and higher-level thinking through problem-based instruction. I like the overall atmosphere to be student-centered; however, I also want to prepare them for upper level high school and college classes where they may have only lecture-style classes.
