Teacher To Teacher
Music production hits the right notes
Whether it’s recording a live instrument, working with pre-recorded sounds, sound designing, DJing or remixing, music production is a great way to engage secondary school students in learning.
Incorporating movement into learning
Teaching elementary school students while they are up on their feet gives them the opportunity to allow their bodies and minds to work together.
Including pop culture in the curriculum
Incorporating popular culture in the classroom is a way to make what I am trying to teach immediately more relevant and engaging for my students. In my classroom, “texts” can be lyrics, music videos, films, comics, TV shows, graphic novels or even YouTube videos.
Implementing culturally responsive education
Rather than just seeing them for what their scores say or what we unconsciously believe about them, we need to make sure that we as teachers are centering student voices and experiences in our curriculum and instruction.
Lessons learned from remote era
Insights about how our students learn best that were gained while working remotely will be helpful when we all return to the classroom.
Empower students through real-world events
We can help students develop a better understanding of both the world and their place in it by using the world around us to teach in a way that invites critical thinking, draws on multiple perspectives and reflects who we are in the 21st century.
