Music Education and School Safety
Both are crucial to a complete education. As the daughter of a first responder, I was always aware of safety. However, as an orchestra teacher, I became aware of the need for more safety education. Come on this journey with me!
Be AWARE and be PREPARED
What does Conducting Safety have to offer?
Resources
I will be sharing some resources such as videos, journal articles, and other websites to help in your journey.
Lessons
Sharing is caring! If I have a lesson that my students absolutely LOVE, I will share it with you! Some lessons will be focused on school safety, some will be focused on music education.
Stories and Support
My blog will be a journal of sorts. It will document some major wins, but also some absolute flops. Most importantly, I teach middle school so there will be a LOT of funny stories!
Our Philosophy.
Students who feel safe are students who focus on learning.
We spend about eight hours a day with students; the goal is for those to be eight hours of safety!
- We should not only be focusing on external safety features such as locks, windows, and alarms. We also need to consider psychological safety.
- In order to be happy and healthy, humans first need the feeling of safety.
- Being safe does not mean hiding emotions. We should be able to express ourselves in a way that doesn’t pose a risk to anybody else’s safety.
