My Teaching Methodology and Practice I believe the point of teaching is the learning process. My teaching method uses a combination of several elements, with attention to the age group of the class, in order to make the learning process as strong as possible. I include a PowerPoint presentation, a text (that I summarize - usually the 3 main points), personal stories to make either a good point or to make the wrong choice clear, occasionally I used a brief video clip to introduce the topic,...
1. Students learn to use Adler's 4-levels of reading and comprehension technique. 2. Easily identify the 3 main points of a fiction and nonfiction book is relatively easy with mildly complex books. 3. Exposure to 5 of the most significant books for teens. 4. Character lessons from the books - highlighted in each class. 5. Students are capable to teach another person the Adler 4-Levels of reading technique.
I have been teaching the Adler reading technique since it revolutionized my reading (and learning) more than 20 years ago with students and adults. I have more than 40 years of teaching experience in public education and within the nonprofit sector. I was a homeschool Dad teaching my sons for 6+ years. I have written a few articles about using this technique and am happy to share this with parents. I’m a big believer that parents and students working in tandem creates the most successful environment for a student’s success. I use a literature-based teaching approach. A carefully chosen book is picked for every class to expose students to great books and lessons. These books are the best available in the category whether best sellers of college/grad school required reading. They are all very readable. They are not required reading but recommended.

I've been teaching here on Outschool since May 2020. It has been my pleasure to teach more than 2200 students here this last year. I find that a dialog with parents is very helpful for encouraging success for students. Truth, Beauty, and Goodness...
