"Catering to the specific needs of students is one of the most effective strategies I think I will adopt. Too often we have lessons planned out in our head without full consideration of what this specific set of students needs. I find the well roundedness and individualization of learning as demonstrated, theatre or otherwise, would be the biggest takeaway."
