ACTIVITIES DURING LESSONS

I TEACH STUDENTS NOT JUST SU,BJECT MAlTER My goal is to equip my students with the ability to complete tasks independently.

The variation in my classroom helps to cater to thel different learning styles of my students, while maintaining student interest and adding an element of fun to the classroom.

A wide range of assessment tools is used in my dassroom, including rubrics, discussion and writing.
