Carol Broos

I am a fourth through eightth grade music teacher in Northfield, Illinois. I am thrilled to be part of this incredible group of educators that are forward thinking in education.

I am passionate about the arts and everything that touches them. I want my students to “soar like an eagle” in the arts. I create an environment in my class for discovery, opportunity, and expression. Everyone has a talent. When you put talent together with passion, WATCH OUT.

I am also a web 2.0 teacher. I love the new networking tools and creative uses of that combines music with technology. Collaboration is the key in the music classroom, be it performance, composition, or creating multi-media projects.
