Active Learning

I believe students learn best by hands on learning or actively learning. I try to involve my students in all aspects of learning, be it reading, writing, talking, sharing, exploring, listening, interacting, or reflecting. Active learning, when focused on the objectives, promotes and accelerates the learning outcomes. It is well known children (and adults) learn best when actively participating. One of my goals is for young students to eventually learn how to become self directed in their learning, prepare them to use critical thinking skills and work cooperatively with their peers.
