I'm the Theater Director @theatreDCHS. Passionate about performing arts education and it's ability to teach students global citizenship.

@theatreDCHS I had a choreographer/teacher in High School, Donna Stinchcomb, and she changed the entire direction of my life through her commitment to seeing her students succeed. She inspired me, and still does, to be a theatre teacher.

@NicholasFerroni My first non-white teacher was in Kindergarten, Mrs. Poole. The hardest working and most loving woman in the world!
However, to this day I have’t had a non-white male teacher (I work with them, but not been their student). That’s where I believe the most change can happen!

The Pike Encores put their hearts and voices out there today and gave the audience a fantastic show! We left it all on that stage! A great way to end a wonderful season! #inspireunity #pikeproud

The Pike Player students have truly surpassed expectations with their show performed for the Kindergarten students of Pike Township. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to see them work this year and what a fun show it was!

Remind has made an important difference in the Perf. Arts classroom and the ability to communicate with Ss & Ps outside of the classroom. Don't let this service see an end to the good it is doing for the educators who use it

Research says that the person asking questions gets smarter. We have to make sure students are asking the questions about what they do and don’t understand -Cris Tovani #ElevatEDIndy

We as teachers need to create more opportunities to stop being consumers of technology and start being creators with technology #ElevatEDIndy #technologyintheclassroom

In a non-scientific study, a room full of educators decided that Relationship with Students and Student Voice are the most important things to teaching #teacherlife #ElevatEDIndy

Life is full of those “George Bailey moments” as a teacher. You may never know the impact you have on a student, but you are having an impact #ElevatEDIndy

[Nate Adams @nsadamsteaching]

We can only hope that what we present in the classroom is an example of who and what our Ss can become #ElevatEDIndy #keynote

Is memorization in the classroom “surrogate learning”?
Are students our most underused resource in schools?

@DarnGoodReads is rocking the teaching about Open Educational Resources at #ElevatEDIndy

Climate is how we feel, Culture is how we behave. Climate is easy to change but it is fickle. Culture is much more concrete but more important. We need to change our school cultures. #ElevatEDIndy

4 needs of EVERY PERSON
1. Acceptance - Know you are Loved
2. Significance - Know you are Special
3. Security - Know you are Protected
4. Purpose - Know your Reason for living

We need to remember this, thanks to @RJMotivates
