Reflecting on Teaching

Here is my running document of ideas on how to do better. This is comprehensive, ranging from teaching ideas and collaboration to how to fix the printer! It has proven to be a great resource to me as I continue to grow as an educator and a professional.

Maintaining Accurate Records

Lesson Attendance

Big Musicians

Chamber Orchestra

Attendance is of paramount concern, even for cocurricular activities. With the Chamber Orchestra, you can see the two ways I keep track of attendance. On the left is the hard copy, and on the right is the digital. Below you will see a photo of our Chamber Orchestra from the Nanuet Chamber of Commerce Art Show. To the right is a document I maintain with the various duties and tasks associated with Chamber Orchestra before our weekly rehearsals.
