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
A3 Ss are most likely to feel successful in a supportive environment where mistakes are encouraged. If failure is a bad thing, then success will be more difficult to achieve and frustration wins over. #wo2worldchat
A2 All of these are important but lets talk about Success. In my classroom, we strive for a successful concert performance so I always choose music that I know Ss will be able to do with some hard work and dedication. Always striving for excellence is key! #wo2worldchat
A1 I can tell Ss are engaged if they are singing full out, sitting or standing with good singing posture and focusing their energies on either me or their sheet music. #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
CONGRATULATIONS WOHS Choral students Olivia Ridley, Maria Nalieth, Danielle Russell, Andree Celestin, Joseph Florendo, Khalil Louigene, Matthew Kotowski & Phillip Ojo for being selected to NJ Region 1 Chorus! @wohschoirs#njsma#chorus#musiceducation#NAMM
A7 I celebrate joy and cheer with my students by sharing my passions with them and providing them with opportunities to share their passions with me and their classmates. #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
A3 My spark is performing! I share my spark with my Ss by providing a variety of authentic performance opportunities and showing them various performances including a trip to NYC for a Bway show! This fall we saw @AnastasiaBway#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
