Teacher Reflection
Take a moment to reflect on the lesson and how you can lead by example to your students.
As a teacher your time is limited and your days are full. The mindset we begin the day will have a big influence on how our day and our students’ day will go. Take a few minutes this week to self-reflect on your Soundtrack. Could it be better?
Special Assignment
Challenge students to create three separate musical playlists on their devices. These playlists should have 3-5 songs in each and should all reflect the character they desire to possess, songs that inspire them, and songs that remind them of their future goals.
