So heartwarming hearing 1,500 students sing together in Swahili. In partnership with @MCPS, Strathmore brings every 2nd grader in the county for an introduction to classical music by @NatPhilharmonic.

Practicing music increases synapses and gray matter in your brain. This helps not only in the playing of an instrument but in any life activity where learning and memory are needed. @susanmagsamen

"Amid a national reckoning over the deepening achievement gaps caused by the pandemic, arts education may be one of the keys to boosting children’s engagement in school, research suggests." https://t.co/HMirM7vXm8

Music, theater, drawing, and painting are powerful tools for making sense of the world. Recent studies reinforce that the arts should be pulled back toward the center of academic curricula.

Teachers are amazing 🤩

[Research For Better Teaching @TeachRBT]

What does it take to be a skillful teacher? As it turns out, it is a whole lot more than being smart, literate, and having content knowledge. What else would you add to this list?

April/May means lots of concerts and art showcases to support my teachers’ programs…which means I get to bring my mini-me to experience all that the arts in Moco has to offer! #CTlife @MCPSArts
