What an awesome project and as a French teacher who has feared a cart, yet avoided it for my entire career, your cart is amazing and I can just picture the faces of those students as the wheels hit the threshold…Read more

Such a great insight into a shared feeling of wondering where education will “net out” once we have a vaccine in place. What elements of NOW will we keep and will remain and what will we celebrate saying goodbye to. Time will tell.

I love that you have decided to “fight” and you offered some great strategies to do so. Your four…Read more

The “Perform—Create—Explore” components are such concise ways of framing a variety of options in music. (I also think it is really cool that “create” seems to be the most popular goal choice: awesome!)

Is the peer mentorship piece something that this class has always been strong at, or did it seem to develop out of this choice pla…Read more

This sounds more than “so far so good”, this sounds like very far, and very good. Student-directed learning is perhaps the most difficult AND the most rewarding teaching and learning initiative one can attempt in the classroom. A huge amount of trust protocol is often required at the beginning of such a venture, and that often seems…Read more

I wonder about all of the other subtle ways in which your instructor helped build that environment and atmosphere that enabled you to sing at you best. Thanks for sharing.

This post describes everything I’ve always wanted to be able to do. I am musically inclined yet my wife laughs every time I sing (she means well)! I’ve always wanted to be able to sing but have no time to learn… One day!
