Stud

ent A

,

I so enjoyed reading your post. You sound like an amazing teacher....and be sure to

hold these same expectations for teachers w

hom you supervise when you move into

administration!

You shared that...

"While teaching history, I have found maps, graphs, pictures, videos, audio files, and

other aids help relate the content to something else students are familiar with. I often try

to p

rovide at least two ways to explain an idea, theme, or concept. This way if a student

does not understand the first time, a visual aid may help the student find that “Ah

-

ha”

moment. "

While I really enjoy reading about how you allow students to share pers

pectives from

their native countries, I was most impressed by this strategy (highlighted here). You go

the extra mile to try to include all in the learning experience! Bravo!
