“Most importantly, I set up classroom rapport-learn their names and what each student values on Day 1. I try to keep my classroom a student-centered active learning environment using the teach-model-support-release method with any new material, then facilitate as the students move through to independence. I value every student and find ways that they can support one another in the learning process--everyone has the ability to facilitate their knowledge and experience in the class.”
