What is my teaching style: friendly, upbeat, calm, supportive, helpful, while maintaining students' focus on the lesson's objective. How much will learners interact with me and each other: students' direct interaction with me will be at the beginning and the end of the lesson, but they are free to ask questions at any time during instruction in a non-disruptive manner. I will consistently have check-ins with students throughout the lesson to gage their comprehension and progress. Students interaction with each other will also mostly occur at the beginning and the end of the class.
