Teach Like Me

When I teach like myself…

I am engaging

• I create spaces for students to learn through problem solving and kinaesthetically
• I develop lessons based on the interests and connections of my students.

I am inclusive

• I allow for multiple viewpoints to be shared within the classroom
• I adapt work to fit the needs of the learners.
• I give options to allow students to have a choice.

I allow learning to come naturally

• I create assignments that allow for problem solving, inquiry and learn from others.
• I allow learners to make mistakes
• I model my own learning alongside my students.
• I foster a learning environment that encourages student learning from their peers.

I build connections

• I make connections with text and real world situations.
• I build connections with colleges
• I connect with the city and locals to bring the real world into the classroom.
