Welcome and stay tuned! My name is Tammi Pittaro.This blog will be mostly about teaching kids who have been identified as potentially gifted and talented in elementary and middle schools. I use the term “potentially” because we are all works in progress and all students have gifts and talents to share.
Am I right-brained? Left-brained? Depends on the moment and situation! I presently teach and coordinate a pull-out program for over 100 identified students in grades 1 through 8 in the three schools in the Upper Township School District, Cape May County, N.J, which definitely calls for both. I privately tutor quite a bit as well. My experience is in all grades and subjects, but mainly elementary. I love to teach language arts, math, science and social studies in creative and motivating ways, all infused with technology and lots of critical thinking skills. I have a special interest in getting kids organized for scholastic and personal success in the classroom. Having taught for the past 35 years, I have many “tricks” up my sleeve to share with you!
