passing this along
Great video..I am passing this along to my art ed adviser at Tyler School of Art, Dr. Joanna Moore. I just graduated,summa cum laude with a BFA and Art ed Certification and now I'm looking for a high school art position in Northeast Pa.
This video has inspired me very much and reafirmed that what I am doing is so important.
Thank you.
Meeting Kids Social and Emotional Needs In School
This was a wonderful video! It gave such voice to the importance of meeting kids’ social and emotional needs in the classroom and the success that can come when they are incorporated into the curriculum and school atmosphere.
I retired in 2005 after teaching thirty years in a public school setting. I spent roughly a third of that time in special education, a third in a mixed ability classroom and a third teaching in a gifted and talented program. Yet, the one theme that was ever present on my mind in all of those settings was the importance of meeting kids' social and emotional needs. Therefore, when I retired I decided to work on my PhD in Education with a cognate in meeting students' social and emotional needs in the classroom. This video does a great job of sharing one way in which that can happen!
Elementary Teacher Training
I am currently a student in college studying to be an elementary teacher. I am currently in my 9th year of band and playing an instrument, and have done other extracurriculars in the past such as dance, theater and sports. I enjoyed this video very much. I wish that my state board would watch this video because over the past couple of years, there has been a huge controversy on whether or not to keep music and the arts in schools in our state. This makes me so mad because it has been proven over and over again, that music and other extracurriculars is a vital part in a student's education, and this video proves it once again. Whether they keep these classes in our schools are not, I know that I will incorporate these techniques in my own classroom because I have experienced how much music can do for a person, especially academcially.
Importatn
Yes it is important. Do not give up it will happen. Good teachers are like gold
