How do we design professional learning that honors many teachers' current state of feeling overwhelmed & tired AND their desire to learn & grow? Well, here's what they said. ow.ly/45uN50Nxq1P

Me this weekend:

#Music and #Emotions. In my latest blog post I share a #resource using Notes Alive animation, narration and orchestration of the Dr Suess book, My Many Coloured Days. Comes with #teaching ideas and free worksheet. Check it out here : themusicspark.com/2023/04/03/my-… #musiceducation

I love this! When we run into our past students and they remember us and want to say hello and have a chat, it really is one of the best things.

Just working off some (10 million 😉) hot cross buns! Do you wait til #GoodFriday before you lather the butter on the buns and scoff them down? Or is the temptation too great and you suffer hot cross buns indigestion as your Lenten sacrifice?? #hotcrossbuns #tradition #yummy

Good Friday morning cuddles with Miss Rosie. After a busy term, it’s nice to have a quiet morning to start the #Easter break. #teacherlife #scottydog #relax #recharge

Happy #Easter. Such a good time to reflect and think about what we have and where we are. A time to grieve but also a time to celebrate and overcome. My latest blog is a repost with a post script that I feel encapsulates the hope-filled message of Easter. themusicspark.com/2023/04/08/tea…

#Music is all around us and you can show Ss you don’t need to play a conventional instrument to make music! #Inspiration is everywhere. Latest blog is about #trashbeatz and includes worksheet! #fun and #engaging #musiceducation themusicspark.com/2023/04/11/mus…

A great reminder! This is going up in my room to reaffirm what I do and remind of things in can improve !

We need to pivot, to continue to improve and #change and flex. Though beware of change for change sake - or change that leads to burn out … something that can appear in education arena all too often. And, yes, be #kind - always 💜 Thanks Sphoenix- Nic Owen 👂🏼 🌻 #edutwitter #teacherlife

Someone tweeted if we should let Ss label keyboards or write letter names under notes etc. Got a lot of discussion and I have a mixed view. But when I saw this, it made me laugh and I had to share! IYKYK😜 #musiced #twitteredu #musicteacher #opinion #

Yes please!

Sometimes the idea of using #iPads in the classroom falls just to games and ‘free time’ or ‘googling’. Ts can find it hard to integrate. Whilst music focused, this blog post is for everyone! themusicspark.com/2023/04/18/ipa… #AppleEDUchat #teacher #technology
