		<title>My Reflections of FETC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coming from Chicago, just going to Florida in January is considered a “snowbird.” But, attending FETC at the same time, I am flying high! I only had 48 hours at the conference, so I tried to make the most of it. After arriving late Wednesday night, I hit the ground running on Thursday morning.

		<title>Amazing Students</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do not like the words “Gifted” or “Talented.” They bring up an elite attitude with me and really just because you are gifted or talented, you may not use your talents. I like the term “amazing,” because ANY student can be amazing, not just the gifted and talented student. It also includes those who [...]]]></description>

		<title>I am NOT an &#8220;Academic Art&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The academic world wants the arts to be just like them. Some of us, as music teachers, have embraced this philosophy by having classes during the school day, tests, and even finals. As many of you know, I believe in performance, creativity, and composing. This doesn’t really fall into any academic world. Let it be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently got an email that my high school band director, Mr. Spriester was turning 80 on November 15th and could I  send a card.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently presented “Teaching with Technology,” and “Let’s Communicate.” at at Teacher&#8217;s conference. It always comes down to the filter on the school, what is blocked and how frustrated teachers are with the lack of support of new technologies. If you have ever experienced the discussion you will realize teachers immediately tell you all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Behavior Pointers &#8211; Just Don&#8217;t Sing THAT Song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Classroom Management is the most important aspect of teaching and usually is the least discussed with educators. A positive classroom is the key of success. So how do you have these two worlds work together?  By having lots of discipline and lots of laughs. A teacher can have all the knowledge and by not handling [...]]]></description>
