How would you currently describe your overall approach to teaching in your classroom: traditional, process mastery, or constructivist? What works well in your approach? What needs improvement?
-
My approach to teaching is blending of process mastery and traditional. I enjoy logical presentation (structure) and critical thinking based on instructions. I need to involve my students with more projects to improve their taking ownership.

I only teach a few lessons a year because I am a librarian. I take a more traditional approach. We follow an I do, we do, you do method. After I walk them through the lesson, I have been having them practice out loud and tell me how to solve the problem. It has been working well.

I use traditional, process mastery and constructivism. I think what works well for me is mastery, for I do a lot of hands-on, so they need to master some skills in drawing, painting, etc.
-
I am more traditional in my approach, which seems to provide high structure and help me manage classroom activities/behaviors. I could improve by letting go of control a bit and providing more choices and activities.
-
I use a mix of all of them. I generally follow the textbook/standards, and may focus on some things more than others, and also like to involve shorter projects where students have a range of options.
