Just a life update: I had been looking at ways to be finally licensed to teach, and I think I finally found it. I actually got in touch with someone at SJ state, mapped out courses, got the confirmation that I do need to take the CSET test 1 but now I know I don’t have to take 2 and 3. Also I took a practice test today and I had forgotten to take my meds. I only realized it when I simply couldn’t concentrate enough to finish a problem half way through. The change was so obvious once I took them that it really saddened me to think about unmedicated folks struggling. No wonder I couldn’t pass the praxis 6 times! This experience today made me think of I want to do beyond getting my license. The idea i got is to work on a curriculum that also incorporates the whole ADHD person. It’ll have pauses in between problems. It’ll force you to take breaks if you become intensely focused like I got (it became OCD which I was treated for) or to get up / fidget if you need to. It’ll also have short snippets on math anxiety, growth mindset, how adhd affects your working memory and evidence based tips that can help with that. #MathEducation #Adhd
