Summary
I would be a hands on teacher, emphasizing labs, field trips (even if just outside on or near the school campus), Science Fair, Robotics, Bridgebuilding and other academic competitions as a way of engaging students, I would encourage students to use alternative means of demonstrating their knowledge, such as drawings, diagrams or maps, thus allowing those who may have trouble verbalizing to still show what they know. I have complete degrees in Art, Biology and Cartography, and I would bring this wide background to each lesson.
