Class experience
US Grade 8 - 11
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to achieve their goals more easily than others? Is it just luck or is there some secret method no one told you about? The short answer is "No, there isn't — not really, and yes, there might be a little luck involved." Mostly though, whether we achieve our goals comes down to knowing exactly what we want to do, how brain chemicals help or hinder our progress, and what to do when we fail. Yep, you read that right!

This class is taught in English.
1. Students will explain the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and why it's important to goal pursuit/achievement. 2. Students will distinguish between peripersonal and extrapersonal space and how these ideas relate to goal achievement. 3. Students will discuss research related to visualization, delayed discounting, and failure. 4. Students will give examples of failures they've observed and what they learned from them. 5. Students will identify one goal they'd like to pursue.
My studies include a master's degree in Educational Psychology from Ball State University; a graduate certificate in Positive Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia; a bachelor's degree in Psychology; and, I'm a certified life coach. During graduate school, I completed 8-week courses in MBSR training through Palouse Mindfulness and the Science of Happiness offered by UC Berkeley — once as an online TA. I teach pre-k through 12th grade in three school districts as a substitute teacher. In this capacity, I've worked with children who have educational and behavioral challenges such as ADHD, ADD, ODD, test anxiety, and trouble reading. I've worked in basic skills and resource classrooms either as the lead teacher or a para-educator. As a freelance writer and editor, I explore the intersection of positive, neuro, and behavioral psychology. My work is available to read through several sources: PositivePsychology.com, Thrive Global, Ardent Path Journal, The Ascent, Better Humans, Publishous, The Startup, The Writing Cooperative, The Post-Grad Survival Guide, and Fine Lines Literary Journal. I'm a member of Sisters in Crime (SinC), Crime Writers of Color, Guppies, and ACES: The Society for Editing.
