The notion of style refers to a person's preferred way of using his/her abilities. Style, Ebel argued, was " what one is ". Teaching is a performing art. Excellent teachers use their voices, gestures and movements to elicit and maintain attention and to stimulate student's emotions. Like other performers, teachers must convey a strong sense of practice, of highly focused energy. Our teaching style represents those enduring personal qualities and behaviors that appear in how we conduct our classes. While many people have argued that style is important in teaching, identifying the elements of our styles as teachers has proved to be difficult.
