I started my career at an IB school which is geared towards student inquiry and student centered learning. This teaching style has followed me throughout my years and even as I have moved on to a new school. I also love to incorporate the arts, debates, and hands on activities on a weekly basis. I try to incorporate all learning styles into my instruction- realizing there are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. But beware, I am not a teacher that provides answers, only further questions. Students need to learn how to become independent, think for themselves, and gain answers on their own through research or experimentation.
