Today’s Browns game is the second coldest game in Browns history. I was at the coldest. January 1981 against the Oakland Raiders. 1 degree at kickoff. The windchill was -35. I spilled hot chocolate on my coat and it froze immediately. #Cleveland #cold #Browns

Thank you, Professor Buddy James and the East Bay Singers, for welcoming me to your rehearsal today for your first in-person, indoor concert since the pandemic.

The concert is free and open to the public! Attend this Thurs., Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the University Theatre.

We are doing our first live concert in 608 days today! I am emotional and excited! To see the looks in their eyes and hear the emotion in their voices at the dress rehearsal was very special. @scholacantorum1 https://t.co/qxxxbIUXJl

Thank you @DrGuiton and @ABCatCSUEB for your time, energy, insight, and passion this morning. This was so worthwhile and we will be discussing this workshop for a LONG TIME. #csueb

If you are looking for examples of cultural appropriation in music education you can check out the new Multicultural Concert Band section on the JWPepper website! Thank you for trying but no.

@professorsmith I was on sabbatical in the spring and, I am sorry to say, I was never able to fully disengage and relax. I was still very grateful for the opportunity and I am returning as a better teacher than when I left.

“a simple truth: learners are intrinsically motivated when the course material is relevant, the teacher is enthusiastic, and they feel psychologically safe.”

The traditional 7-hour school day includes *less than 3 hours* of formal instruction.

Which can be covered in 1.5 hours...

Which is more than what most kids can absorb anyway...

The Tulsa Race Massacre is not a thing that happened to Black people in Oklahoma. It happened TO US. I don’t know anyone in Pearl Harbor or the World Trade Center. But we refer to those acts of terror as attacks on America…

“This country.”

“US.”

Great news!

#CSUEB has the second highest number of Black student grads in the @calstate system. We honored them last night at Black graduation celebration — a longstanding tradition at @calstateeastbay. I was pleased to share a few words in a video message to them.

[Cathy Sandeen @CathySandeen]

I love this video produced by our very own @calstate trustee Wenda Fong. Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! #AAPIJoy

@GregoryMcKeown This is so true. I often find myself breaking fairly simple projects down into the simplest steps that create project overwhelm, making it challenging to complete. Just removing the steps would make everything easier!
