This is another one from the vault. I spoke at my commencement at Chabot (Shuh-bo) College in 2007. It speaks to students' level of commitment and how music can help.

Students and educators alike can take something from this podcast. I use a lot of music in my classes to meditate, transition, signal changes in activities, inspire, engage and much more. When we talk about teaching the total child, little things like music can reach him/her in ways and places of their psyche that mere curriculum cannot.

Social & Emotional Learning:

This series is great for newer educators as well as for more seasoned educators. Sometimes we plan rigidly, our lessons but let's not forget WHO we are teaching and the bevy of issues they bring  with them.

It has never been more important to include Social and Emotional Learning into our curriculum planning and delivery. When you make an effort to go just a little beyond the surface, the results are inspiring when you see what and how it propels your students to achieve.

It is an organic look into what happens when educators build strong interpersonal relationships with students, families, other educators and community members.
