Teaching is exhilarating. I never feel more energized than after a class that has gone well. Some students talk, and some don't. What I believe is while teaching conversations must take off. As a science teacher, I want my students to make a connection with the real world. Sometimes the simplest teaching techniques can work the best. I use charts and diagrams and other visualizing to show relationships.Each class I lead has a particular goal, and each discussion is the result of careful preparation. I don't want my students to leave class with their heads spinning from over- stimulation. I want them to engage the material at hand, and to leave each class with some concrete understanding. So I also try to end each class with three minutes of summation. Sometimes I recap for the students and leave them with three thoughts of the day. Other times, I ask them to take a moment and write down three things they learned and one question they have.
