Teacher effectiveness is not greatly improved by curriculum, new programs, or initiatives. But, when teachers are respected, valued, supported, & feel like their talents are utilized, then morale increases, job engagement soars, & students benefit too!

@WGFineArts @WestGeneseeCSD @jdbillscnzm It was fantastic!

For many young people, the Music Department is school. It’s where they gravitate to. It’s where they discover themselves. It’s where they foster their friendships. It’s where they excel and shine. It’s where they find comfort and understanding. Music makes all the difference.

[Vaughan Fleischfresser @VFleischfresser]

There’s something very special about Music Education. It can light a fire that can never be extinguished. It can open a door that can never be closed. It can forge a path of perpetual growth and comfort. Music Education is like no other, and it is for the benefit of us all.

Teachers are still, in 2022, paying out of pocket for essential safety equipment like high-quality masks and air purifiers. There are also delays with testing, making it difficult to keep schools open during the omicron surge. https://t.co/LxvsbZlA4A

@rdecesare I love this so much!

As schools grapple with the pandemic's impact on kids' mental health, music, theater and other art classes are emerging as a space to help students adjust to being in-person again. https://t.co/gnhM1nvrTJ

A group of sixth, seventh and eighth graders realized there was no children's book about the composer Florence Price. So they wrote, illustrated and published their own. https://t.co/725eQmnMGO

I don’t know who said this, but I want to amplify it because it is undeniable and insane. Please retweet.
