This Teacher Life Monica Genta

Music is a highly underutilized tool in education!

We use books all the time to help kids learn and grow, but songs are just books without pages.

So how can you use music to motivate students and get them all engaged in heartfelt, meaningful conversation?

That is exactly what we are going to unpack in this week's episode of the This Teacher Life podcast.

Super simple, strategic teacher tips will be shared on how we can take songs and transform them into opportunities for debate, data, discussions, and dynamic classroom environments.

This idea is perfect for any subject area and any grade level!

Do your students every walk into class with tired eyes and total disengagement?

Do you ever ask your students questions and the only thing you hear are crickets?

Do you ever start a lesson and it totally flops, but you keep rolling with it because you don't have a back-up plan?

If you said YES to any (or all) of those statements you are not alone.

Sometimes it feels like we are competing with kids for attention, but our number one goal is to help them prepare for college, career, and real life.

In this week's episode of the This Teacher Life podcast I explain a problem I experienced with my students on a Monday mornig.

I give the specific on how and why I totally ditched my lesson and pivoting quickly into a positive, proactive plan that created HUGE success.

If you are looking for ways to engage all kids and stop watching time on planning, this episode is for you!

Are this point in the school you are you surviving, thriving or in neutral?

The reality is that all honest answers are great answers!

This is the point in the year where the wheels start to come off for a lot of us.

This point in the year is where there is light at the end of the tunnel for a lot of us.

This point in the year is where we feel numb for a lot of us.

But what if I told you there is still time to end the school year on a good note.

And all you have to do to make that happen is share your story, struggle or successes?

In this honest, emotional episode of This Teacher Life I get vulnerable on my current struggles and successes to prove you are not alone.

I promise this episode will help your teacher heart and head in a big way.
