Benefits of flexible teaching methods when teaching a diverse student body We all know the importance of meeting our students where they are when they enter our classroom, but how exactly do you do that? How do you operationalize teaching best practices? Is there a better way? I'll be suggesting that there is not. But learning what my students enjoy and how they think helps me adapt to techniques I use to better engage and motivate them to learn the material. In many ways, it is a quintessentially Linux approach. Build tools that do one thing really well and combine them in novel ways to reach the desired goal. I'll be sharing what I do with a few stories of what it looks like in my classroom.
