About Me

Estacada, Oregon, United States
I am 23 years old and I am engaged to the most amazing woman in the world. The wedding date is coming up, July 18th, but it seems like an eternity away. I currently teach physical education at two different elementary schools (both in the same day) in the Sherman County School District, located in Oregon. I recently graduated from Eastern Oregon University with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical activity and health with three areas of concentrations: Exercise Science, Health & Wellness, and Physical Education & Sport. In July I will graduate from Eastern Oregon University with a Masters degree in Education.

Should we be concerned with attitude in the classroom?

In addition to curriculum and instructional ideas in the physical/health education field, this blog also focuses on the importance and the development of a winning attitude. Whether it is in sports, in the classroom, at your job, or at home, the difference between success and mediocrity can be found in your attitude.

However, today's average educational curriculum devotes less than 1% of its focus on developing the winning attitude. Ironically, the majority of the problems found in the classroom, both behavioral and academic, can be solved with a positive change in the attitude.
