Ever feel like the only teacher in the building who isn’t in the loop?

Connecting with colleagues and feeling respected as part of your school team can be a challenge—but it doesn’t have to be! In this episode, I chat with Kurtis Hewson about how music teachers can play a key role in collaborative response teams and build stronger connections with their schools.

🎶 A clear understanding of what collaborative response teams do

🎶 Strategies for making your voice heard as a music teacher
