Teaching my students a growth mindset can help them to overcome any challenges they may face due to poverty. #SPAMVT2015

@Theylbrickroad @jguarr Testing has definitely never done anything good for education. #musedchat

@Mwren13 @twkellyMRES @deeheard which doesn't make any sense considering the amount of admin experience you get as a music T! #musedchat

A4 Many non-musician/educators see music as a cool trick they don't understand instead of the full brain work out that it is #musedchat

@Mwren13 @musicmom99 I love the sports connection! That's something the public can make a connection to! #musedchat

[Sabrina Townsend @MsTeach92]

@Mwren13 I see this all the time! It's hard to convince the kids that instruments aren't just for "free" time. #musedchat

[Sabrina Townsend @MsTeach92]

@kellyapetro YES! I HATE it when kids say "I hate music!" I just think...no you don't! #musedchat

A3- I've seen a mix of attitudes from students. Some say it's just prep. Other's really want to learn! #musedchat

[Sabrina Townsend @MsTeach92]

@Mwren13 I know! That may be the most frustrating part of teaching music!

[Sabrina Townsend @MsTeach92]

A2- It takes a lot of work advocating with admin and other staff. There has to be some physical proof of learning taking place. #musedchat

[Sabrina Townsend @MsTeach92]

A1- Too many teachers treat it like it's free time for the kids--it shows in the kids' attitudes. #musedchat
