I am a retired K-12 Vocal & Instrumental Music teacher. I came out of retire to teach part time PreK-8th Grade music this year at a tiny school (we have 40 kids). I love it! I have taught elementary music, high school band, jr high band, elementary band, general music, high school choir, jr high choir, and elementary computers during those 31 years. Retirement is great, except I substitute nearly every day now! Keep on doing great things full time educators!
I love, love, love teaching kids how to be assessment capable learners. What a powerful moment when they take control of their learning, set goals, track their progress, and find new ways to reach the target! Arts Integration can connect any subjects with music, visual arts, dance and theater. Collaborate with another teacher to design a lesson. You'll be amazed at the results!
I taught for 31 years!
