Teacher Spotlight

• Do you teach differently than you did when you began teaching? How so? And why? • Do you ever read research studies in professional journals? If so, how does this change the way you teach? • How has the study of educational research affected your teaching? • What kinds of conclusions have you reached through informal research (your day to day observations of your students)? • What style of teaching do you prefer? Direct Instruction? Constructivist learning? A mix of both? • How do you differentiate instruction for diverse learners? • How do you manage classroom discipline?
