Teaching Philosophy

My Philosophy of Teaching is very interactive and pursing the interest of the students. I believe that the students should want to learn and not see school as a bore waste of time. I incorporate lots of multimedia in my lesson plans to help the students have more interactive learning. Types of multimedia that I use is educational video games, short story movies, PowerPoint and websites that have interactive games and information. I deeply believe that students who succeed in the classroom enjoy coming to school so why not create an environment where the students want to learn.
