I am Marusya Price. I am an English teacher, blogger and resource creator.
I believe that every student carries something authentic that is waiting to be recognised and the role of a teacher is to help release it.
I am interested in Applied Positive Psychology and how it could be used by educators to empower their students.
The lesson plans and visualizations that I create explore topics such as happiness, mindfulness, motivation, and compassion, to name but a few.
