If you can play the guitar, show the drummers where to begin, sing the lead part, switch to harmony, call out chord changes, and discipline kids simultaneously or separately all without missing a beat (and no score), you might just be an elementary school music teacher. #musiced

I ruled my first few years teaching with the “GOTCHA!” mindset. Chewing Gum? GOTCHA! Passing notes? GOTCHA! Talking to peers? GOTCHA! When I shifted my focus from “rules” to “rapport” everything changed. Trust is the bond of a relationship in which one knows they are loved. – at Essex, Ontario

The less we talked about standardized testing the better our scores got. When we stopped with homework, kids did more passion projects. When we quit giving grades the question became “can I try this?” instead of “what did I get?” What we learn for pleasure we never forget.

Today my great grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, turns 99! “I never thought I would survive Auschwitz and have another birthday. At 99, I celebrate to show that the Nazis did not win!” All #HappyBirthdayLily wishes and comments will be passed on to Lily. ❤️

How are our Secondary students continuing to learn through Remote Learning? Fortunately, we're well prepared for the challenges having learned a lot from last year. At Santa Sophia, we are committed to learning - anywhere, any time. #education youtu.be/C1zG79iVsQ0

I’m inspired by teachers. But it is not usually their lessons that I find inspiring. It is their energy… their heart… and their passion, that fire me up. These teachers make the school a better place just by walking in the door.
