Teaching Strategies: <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

I use a Smartboard to teach the majority of my lessons, which allows the students to be more interactive in class. These lessons are posted on my website for students to print off when they are absent or to bring to class. Once students are introduced to the material, they are then required to do assignments, activities, and projects utilizing the material. When I teach, I try to emphasize to the students the importance of the material being covered whether it be for a future class or in the real world. If importance is placed on the material, then they are more likely to remember it.<\/p>\n
