I find teaching to be like an offshore fishing trip for tuna. There is a lot of preparation, a long trip is to be expected, but there is nothing like the excitement when you are in the moment and the pay-off at the end of the day is priceless. As a teacher, I bring interest, wonderment, and a sense of accomplishment to the students. Positive behavior support is at the foundation for all of my lessons. I feel that the students deserve to know when they are mastering a skill as well as praise for giving it a try. When looking for a solution to a problem from my students I find there is no wrong answer, only steps toward to learning something new. Finally, I believe the atmosphere between the children and teacher should be light-hearted with structure having an air of safety to blanket the class.
