First Post - New Teacher Orientation

Just wrapped new teacher orientation at Moanalua High School.  Ready to start the 2010-2011 year... well going to be ready :)

I created this blog to serve as my place of reflection as I teach.  My goal: write in it at least once a month.  Hopefully I'll write in here at least once a week though.

So things I need to get done before school starts:
- Create syllabi for classes (Elden shared the grading policies with me today)
- Select a couple of pieces for the two orchestras

One last thing I'd like to share is related to the rigor, relevance, and relationship framework.  In my MSU studies, I'm working on a project to incorporate internet radio into my curriculum as a means of sharing new music with my students and also exposing them to exemplars of classical music.  I realized today that it ties in beautifully with the 3 Rs.  To read more about my research/epiphany click here.
