Description

Kids learn at a young age how to show teachers that they are learning. Even if they aren’t… And with many kids, ESPECIALLY when they are not.





The long awaited return of “Car Thoughts”





<figure class="alignright size-large is-resized"></figure>



Short episodes designed to get you thinking about your educational practice. In this episode, I would also submit this as food for thought for parents.





I often hear music educators speak of “engagement” in the classroom as something more than it is: A really good sign. But what is ISN’T is evidence that the student is learning or mastering concepts and skills





Imagine asking a shop teacher: “How do you know your student learned to build a desk?” But, there was no desk built by a student…





“Well, he was engaged when he watched me do it!” would not cut it.
