About me:
My name is Coach Pedersen, but most everyone calls me Coach P. I was born and raised in South Carolina. I am a product of Richland 2 graduating from Spring Valley High School. I attended Winthrop University where I received a BS in Physical Education and my MEd in Curriculum and Instruction. I also attended Arkansas State where I received my MS in Sport Administration and just recently completed a post graduate certificate in building level administration. This is my 10th year teaching and 6th year as a Westwood Redhawk. Prior to Westwood I taught 4 years at Clover Middle School in Clover, SC. When I am not at the Castle I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, developing, my photography skills, and spending time with friends and family.
This year:
I am teaching Personal Health and Wellness. I am also the Head Boys Soccer coach, an Assistant Athletic Director, Physical Education Department Chair, and the faculty sponsor of PRYSM. I am an avid supporter of my students and look forward to helping them develop the skills they need to be successful learners, leaders, and designers. Please see the Personal Health class tab for more specific information about the course.
Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share.
