Sometimes forget Twitter exists and other times I'm too excited to share ๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ฝ๐พ๐๐๐ related to #musiced, #studentcentered teaching and #studentagency. Apologies for hiatuses in sharing and apologies for an abundance of sharing. Never know which one it will be!
I'm starting fresh with a new account! ๐ My old account @Di_R0 will be archived, but continue to follow my journey here. Looking for inspiration & community in #MusicEd, #ArtsEd, #InquiryInTheArts, and #ConceptualTeachingAndLearning.
Who are your must-follows in these areas?
G10 #myptheatre students devised a piece, "Lord of the Flies Meets the Boys from Ata." It was a compelling work, evoking themes from both stories and bringing the author's voice into our understanding of perspective. Congrats to Ms. Hirsch & her students ๐ญ

What an inspiring group of #mypart educators from La Chรขtaigneraie @EcolintGeneva. Today during some unit planning, they wondered about how the arts could influence ways of learning & thinking in other subjects. And boom! This article in the NYT today: https://t.co/BD9aBJyFib
@scott_watson@UArts@UArtsMUED Highly recommend this course! I took so much away and continue to use it 2 years later.@scott_watson is an incredible innovator and educator.
I asked my MS Band students if they were excited for the upcoming concert & they said they were more excited for the bagels they get after๐ Introducing international and local Atlanta students to real NY bagels will likely be my legacy here๐
What a joy to celebrate our Visual Art @AIS_Eagles today @HighMuseumofArt! An array of artworks from PS students through G10 are featured in this incredible gallery. I am so thankful to our VA teachers for fostering a love of art in the students! @AISLearns#aislearns#myparts
I watched this interview live and will be sharing it with my students. Can you think of a better example of #growthmindset? It made me think of @trev_mackenzie's, "Every time you fail you create a new synapse."
A few photos from our Spring Concert for Band, Orchestra and Choir. Students explored the statement of inquiry: Our identity evolves when we lead and overcome boundaries. Students studied independence, responsibility & "reaching" to play challenging music. #AISlearns#mypmusic
Thinking about visualizing rubrics to be more inclusive - participants in the MYP Cat 2 Visual & Performing Arts workshop this past weekend in Minnesota game up with these awesome ideas! #myparts
Who says beginning band students can't improvise?! At the end of class we wondered, "Can we use 2 notes to make a tune?" This was completely student led with no direction from me. The focus and collaboration is incredible. #mypmusic#myparts#AISlearns
While leading this MYP Arts Cat 2 workshop, we are thinking about #atlskills in #myparts by creating paper toys called "flextangles." So fun! Enjoying the exchange of learning with this amazing group of Minneapolis and St. Paul arts educators.

We were down 3 seniors who are in Houston to compete in the FIRST Robotics World Championships! They're proud to present that "A" in STEAM ๐จ @AISLearns#aislearns
Letโs all be relentlessly optimistic in our studentsโ abilities.
They set a lofty goal? Believe in them.
They dropped the ball? Forgive them.
They missed the mark? Tell them they may not be there yet, but theyโre on their way.
Optimism breeds hope. Hope breeds self-belief.
