About Me....
Hello, my name is Marissa and I am from Theodore, Alabama. I attend the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama and my major is physical education. I want to be a P.E. Teacher because after deep soul searching to find a career that I would enjoy, teaching seemed to be the best fit for me. Having played sports through high school and at the collegiate level, I am use to sport activities.....plus its fun:) It has taught me how to be a leader, humble and use teamwork. These characteristics were taught to me by my coaches, who I thank for shaping me into who I am.
Learning Along With My Students
Being a great teacher means learning from your students when you don't know the answer and they do. If I am showing my students how to do something an they know how to do it better than me or know a new way of doing it. Then they will be more than welcome to show me and their classmates how to do it. Giving students the opportunity to shin when they are good at something gives them more confidence, which is what kid's need to day. Allowing students to take over the class while you keeping a eye on what is going on, gets the students involved in learning about the topic.
