I have taught grades 7-12th since beginning my teaching career in 2010. I have participated in a lesson study group run out of Cal State University, San Bernardino. This group of teachers from around the district meet once a month to research, plan lessons, implement lessons, and reflect on the lesson (not the teaching). Through this I have had the opportunity to teach in others' classrooms in a high school Algebra 1 Repeat course, Algebra 2 course, and Geometry course.I have also taught at a Jr/Sr high school where I was the only high school math teacher, some years having 6 different preps for all levels of mathematics. I have taught college level Precalculus and Calculus in the high school through Central Washington University.
I use a combination of styles in my classroom. There is a time and place for direct instruction, guided instruction, group collaboration, and independent practice. I believe that each student is an individual and may learn differently than others. While differentiating can be hard for individual students, as a teacher, we have to make an effort to try.
