Doesn’t matter how old you get, waking up to see the neighborhood covered in snow is one of the best feelings! #WhiteChristmas

Amazing performance from Reed Academy Singers! Insane levels of expression, beautiful tone, and physical engagement from the students! Two standing ovations!!! #swacda2018 #WeAreREED

A1: A positive culture is both visible and invisible to the classroom. In my rehearsal with students, it is the present in the way that we affirm each other and support out mutual passion for music! #iTeachMO

A2: My factors include my priotization of the relationships I make with my students. Time both inside and outside of rehearsal that pays out in the long run. My attitude and vision for success helps align student goal for fun! #iTeachMO

A3: Daily opportunities for relationship building with students. Play community games, learn their interests and incorporate them into the lesson as frequently as possible without being distracting. Make them a required part of the unique educational experience! #iTeachMO

Q1: Active engagement is more than students responding positively to questions and discussion prompts. It is the individual investment of each student manifesting itself in unique, sometimes unpredictable ways! #iTeachMO

Reed Academy Singers warming up at UNTD for our performance tomorrow! #reedchoir #WeAreREED
