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!
