"I have found, over the years, that the majority of my students stay engaged when they are called upon regularly during a lesson. They then know that they need to remain a part of the conversation, and their input is valued. Forming relationships with students is also important to foster investment and engagement. When students feel known, cared for, and as if they belong, learning can take place."

"It is important to me that my students connect with the material we cover. For that reason, I try to keep content as relevant as possible and get to know students personally to find out what they hope to achieve. This way, we can work towards those goals together."

"I encourage a lot of hands-on work in my classroom so that there are very few lulls during the lesson. Nobody likes to sit idle, and I try to respect that as much as possible. I also do my best to making all learning relevant to my students and their goals. I come up with engaging hooks to get them interested, encourage partner and group work, and constantly encourage students towards growth."
