Unfortunately, I came across it after the deadline. Hopefully, it is an on going program. I really would like to participate. This would have been a great opportunity for me, a teacher of languages.

You are such an inspirational living proof of the importance and value of foreign language education. Your presentation is right on the issue we as a country faces right now. If we continue to fail to advocate foreign languages on a much bigger scale in our schools, we will truly owe future generations a heavy edsucational debt. Would it be possible that you could share your Prezi PPT information as PDF file with teachers? I greatly apprecaite it and hope that one day I could visit your new school & meet you again. Thank you so much! Ping Shen Whittaker Chinese Teacher from Nashville, TN Dear Mrs. Jemsby,

Some teachers do it naturally and others need to bring it to a conscious level and realize that what they are teaching about relationships, respect, and caring is something they must nurture within themselves because it is the main lesson of the day. Thank you, Mrs. Gwinn.

Personal taste can certainly be incorporated in the classroom. There are plenty of assignments that can incorporate that. Simple connection: which artist that you like is most like Mozart (young-genius-kooky-prolific)? Make video-essay-song to compare.Also, you often find personal tastes change after years in concert band.2. Every curriculum is different. I focus on creating musicians (play piano, transpose, compose, be able to listen, play in all keys). I play less concert music, but we play it better.3. I don't think this generation is more used to instant gratification. But I cant think of any discipline that creates more instant feedback thus gratification. People who practice a lot do so because they sound good and they like sounding good. Its your job to get them to sound good.I suggest following the musiced chat on twitter on Monday nights.

I can't apply this year but I hope this is an ongoing program for next year and the following years. I'd love to see the homeland of the wonderful Cesaria Evora. This looks great.
