As a professor, I’m shifting from traditional grades to focus on real learning. Joshua Eyler’s “Failing Our Future” reinforced the WHY! Grades can impact curiosity, mental health & equity, but Eyler offers hopeful alternatives. Essential read for anyone rethinking education!

🎉 First full drafts of my sabbatical projects completed. Ready to move on to the proofreading stage. Now I think I’ll take a long walk…🚶🏼‍♂️ #AppleTeacher #AppleEDU #AppleBooks #Sabbatical #ADE2023

It’s Friday and I needed a new environment to motivate me to proofread.

We just wrapped up Ted Lasso. I really needed those laughs, heartfelt moments, and a little optimism. ⚽️ Thanks, Ted! #TedLasso #Believe

Sabbatical projects are coming together nicely! I am producing free educational resources for my students. When complete, these books will be available to download for free from the #AppleBooks store. #AppleTeacher

Grateful for Dr. Ladd’s invitation to speak with music students @ Nicholls State Univ Music Ed Seminar this evening. I discussed my approach to comprehensive musicianship, a concept that has been instrumental in shaping my work and teaching.

Last few hours in Ireland before heading home. (Catching up on my posts from a few weeks ago.) Chowder at Fitzpatrick’s and one last @GuinnessIreland. Thanks so much for the invitation and hospitality, @mik1 !

Day 4 in Ireland: (Catching up on my posts.) A trip near the border of Northern Ireland to visit with @mik1 & her students at Bush Post. Observed technology-rich classes with #iPad and shared a #FoundSounds presentation. They treated me to a trad performance by students! Wow! 🇮🇪

Day 3 in Ireland: (Catching up on my posts.) Gorgeous morning commute to @LoretoAbbey_ to spend the day with @_ehughes_, his wonderful colleagues, and students. Observed composition, ukelele with #GarageBand, and a physics course. Assisted with a civics course creating a rap.

Day 2 in #Ireland: (Catching on my posts.) Lovely hike with friends @_ehughes_ and @MirCWalsh in Glendalough and a trad session at @CobblestoneDub.

Another great reason to attend the VSTE Conference in Virginia Beach. Come learn from @cinehead and discover how to implement new creative lessons in your courses. @vste See you there???
