Background

About Patrick Resse

In high school, I volunteered at a low socioeconomic apartment complex, where I tutored elementary aged students in a variety of subjects. I supplied my own games to play with the kids when they were finished with their work. I continued to work with students during my student teaching placements, where I learned valuable information, and learned of my strengths, as well as what I need to improve on to be the best teacher I can be for my students. I learned I have a strong ability to think on my feet and adapt to situations as they occur, find creative lesson, activities, and solutions. I adapted to learn the different technology in the classrooms, and put my own creative spin or reading and writing groups, so the students can have fun. When I was in college I worked at the movie theater in town, where I got to indulge in one of my many strong interests. When the summers started I left the theater and worked as a counselor at the YMCA summer camp where I led sports activities, but mainly once again indulged in my many interests and led week long camps in cooking, science, building, STEM, and other content specific activities. Through my many experiences in the field I learned how to deal with children with specific learning needs and behavioral issues. I consider working with these children as a strength of mine, and look forward to more experience working with children and making learning as interesting and fun as possible.
