“I believe that students learn best when lessons are differentiated to their specific needs and when they can show their learning in multiple ways,” Christina T. says. “As such, I like to reinforce learning by asking students to annotate problems, talk through their ideas out loud, and explain them in writing. I find that this helps make the content and strategies ‘stickier’ and allows students to have more success on the exam.”
