This week I thought I would do a little
mash up of some of the most interesting articles and blog posts from
other music educators that I happened to find recently. My interest
in reading these various bloggers was fostered by the continued
dedication to the cause set forth by Joe Pisano and his 100 ME
Bloggers campaign. His efforts have met with some great success.
Here is one of the great posts that I came across while
ruffling through his links. By the way, links to many of the same Music Education bloggers are now available in the MusicEdMagic resource directory !
Dinner and A Movie- Blog post by
Linda Granite, elementary band teacher
Linda hit on a sore spot in my own
teaching, the area of whether or not to use physical incentives to
increase student achievement or not. More to the point, how much to
spend, how to spend it, and whether or not these kind of things ever
get any appreciable results. Linda's post on the subject of student
incentives for elementary band students parallels my
own classroom experiences in many ways and it is refreshing to
remind myself that all teachers go through many trial and error
periods before they finally find out what works for them. So to
everyone else, please take heart and take a look at our two stories.
