Chalk It Down: Hi, I'm Aaron and I'm a future English and Mathematics teacher, living and learning in Ireland. I'm currently in the 2nd year of an English and Mathematics degree in University College Cork. I graduated with a degree in Applied Psychology from U.C.C. in 2008. I'm interested in creativity, iniative, youth-led develompent and happiness having a central role to play in teaching. My heroes include Ken Robinson, Ira Shor and Dan Meyer. I am also interested in integreting elements of positive psychology into teaching methodology, with the goal of aiding my students to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.
