Positively Persistent Teach

positivelypt at gmail dot com


I am a teacher. I moved to Florida to teach 2nd grade and was recently moved to Pre-K. At my last school, I taught in the resource room for grades K-8 in both reading and math (and many times other content areas as well) in a public school district. I have also taught K-2 special education in a charter school. I student taught in England, have had field placements in Montessori schools, and worked with a private Christian school.

The most important things I have learned about teaching are:
1. Don't ever give up on a kid, or yourself.
2. The attitude you have, regardless of the situation, is your choice. Choosing a negative one does not improve anything, it only makes you and others around you miserable.

Also, be sure to check out the education section on tumblr! Education Tag I'm thrilled to be one of the editors!

teamteachers:

One of the main purposes of this tumblr is community building amongst Teachers on Tumblr.  We’d love to see more teachers on tumblr (so please, introduce a co-worker to it).

I just wanted to remind you that we do take submissions or guest posts. Kicksandgiggles wrote an excellent post on working as an aide or with an aide.  That is the quality of posts we are looking for — but under any topic in education.  If you would like to submit something that is in your area of expertise — or something you’ve been researching lately please check out our submission guidelines.

Even if you don’t have anything written up yet, but want to see if we are interested in your idea please contact us via the submit/ask page.

Just reblogging this as another reminder.  I’d love to see some more submissions get posted!  If there is a topic you are passionate about or feel like somewhat of an expert and would like to submit something, go for it!
