The arts aren't just enrichment, they're essential.

AGAIN - "If they're worried about test scores and want a way to get them higher, they need to give kids more arts, not less," says Tom Horne, Arizona's state superintendent of public instruction. "There's evidence that kids immersed in the arts do better on their academic tests."

I'm so tired of studies that show Art is "valuable" when it improves OTHER areas of education.

Why is Arts Important in Education? - The Brookings Institute, a study into the impact of Arts Learning on students’ outcomes.https://t.co/57fJXeZojV

Yes I still blog, and spent some time updating it today (SEO, keywords, etc) but also updated my theme to help it look sleeker and make it easier to use. Let me know what you think - https://t.co/TrskAoqNYm

Last year I did a unit where students selected children's books and then added musical elements to them. Each group then read/performed their new piece for a younger grade. An awesome cross-curricular unit that promotes reading, music, and community!

An incredible piece that has stuck with me for several days now. There is just something striking, vulnerable, and human about it.

Our intern @boen_wang was at a work retreat for a new job. Surrounded by mosquitoes and swampland, Boen’s mind underwent a sudden transformation that would have profound consequences—for his work, his colleagues, and himself. Listen to "Infinities": https://t.co/kBAInjlvRd

@JinSooDHuh @Jeopardy I cannot believe this is real!

Also, if I'm presenting via Zoom does it still count as "Presented my work internationally" - asking for a friend.

[Frank Cademartori @asoundmindedu]

Excited to be working with @ucl in London to present some of my lessons at their "Playing with Purpose" workshop. It's fantastic to be a part of this and eager to see my fellow presenters as well.
