A6 We can foster positive relationship building by allowing Ss to work together and teaching Ss how to give and receive constructive feedback to and from one another. #wo2worldchat

A5 less time testing and more time emphasizing the importance of play, creativity, and originality. Every assignment doesn't necessarily have to be thought of as a graded test. We can allow students time to play and discover who they are through course content #wo2worldchat

A4 When Ss have a genuine interest in subject matter, curiosity takes over. My theater Ss often tell me about musicals they love that I have never heard of because they are constantly searching for new and interesting material to watch and listen to. #wo2worldchat

Hi, I'm Patrick! RMS Choir. I find work that involves actually using my body to be the most engaging. Singing, dancing, teaching lessons where I get to model/demo or move around my space. I dread SGOs, pre observations, busy work. #wo2worldchat

A6 I help students unwrap their gift by allowing them to explore music on their own terms. I try to incorporate as much student choice as possible so Ss can apply the skills we learn in class to music that interests them. #WO2WorldChat

A5 I stay focused and extra sparkly through yoga and meditation. I actually wake up a half hour early to squeeze in a morning meditation. Keeps me sane and focused on my goals. #WO2WorldChat

A4 I spark contagious learning by introducing my Ss to tiny tidbits of the world of music and theatre in hopes that they will continue to discover new music and shows on their own to find their own true passions. #WO2WorldChat

A2 For our current solo project I encouraged Ss to choose ANY school appropriate song to research, learn, and perform. I wanted them to have fun and I wanted to learn more about their individual interests! #WO2WorldChat

A1 I celebrate student success by showing them off and making them feel like celebrities. I share performance clips on social media and have them perform around the school and in their community. This Friday, @ChorusRMS is going to @edison_central6 to perform! #WO2WorldChat

Hi! I'm Patrick. I teach choir at RMS. One way I integrate tech is by having Ss use flipgrid to record performance assessments. Right now they are recording solos that they chose, researched, and prepared independently! #WO2WorldChat
