“Every activity was creatively crafted and tailored to the content at hand. One day we would do a reading jigsaw where we teach the material from our readings to classmates, and one day we would be given roles for a mock school committee meeting. It’s clear that even after teaching the class for many years, she still spends so much time thinking and planning how to make it better.”
