"I like for my class to be predictable and structured, while I also like to switch it up sometimes to keep students engaged. We typically begin class with an activity geared towards the learning objective for the day. I like for students to see how the learning is relevant to their everyday lives. I then introduce the skill or concept by direct instruction or through an engaging video. I model it several times, we practice together as a class, and then I allow students time for independent work, with the option to conference with me on an as-needed basis. We wrap up class with an exit ticket so that I can collect data on student mastery."
