I just earned a new @Flipgrid badge: 250 Response videos! I’m a champion of student voice. Names are SO important and I am glad I am getting their pronunciation from the source-student voices!

We can never let off the gas of fighting for worker’s rights. Keep organizing, demanding fair wage and benefits, and unionizing! Remember the meaning of Labor Day.

This week is National Arts in Education Week and today Arts Ed NJ challenges you to CREATE. I had so much fun folk dancing this afternoon with students my virtual adaptations of these Scandinavian classics. Think outside the box and CREATE! #BecauseOfArtsEd #ArtsEdNow

I am inspired by my students today. I am inspired by their song requests, their smiles, their voices, and most importantly, their resiliency. This song (that one student requested), inspires me to imagine a better world for them to inherit. #BecauseOfArtsEd #artsednow

A romanticized, white-washed teaching of the past is NOT helpful. Native lives are not caricatures, they are not cutesy cartoons. Our students deserve age appropriate truths and for us to show respect towards all people, especially the marginalized. youtu.be/1Hm1Z0B_rtw

Even though today is not a special day in the calendar to show support for our LGBT friends, today is always a great day to be inclusive! Instead of addressing students as "boys and girls" or "guys" what are some inclusive words you use? My favorites are "friends" and "musicians"

What a beautiful way to start off Music in our Schools Month! JMI Chorus students worked so diligently on this project. We hope you enjoy "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" and keep marching on until justice and equity are a reality. #shinebrightedison #MIOSM #lifteveryvoice
