    Hey Everyone...

    As some of you know, I moderate a Twitter chat on Tuesday nights at #VidEd (9pm CST). This week's topic (March 18th) is "The Importance Arts Education." I would love any and all of you to join in the conversation. As Theatre educators, we know the impact the arts have on students' lives both while they are in our classes and long after they have left the stage. Twitter is a fantastic "stage" on which to discuss this topic. Teachers from different content areas and from all over the world will be chiming in and sharing their thoughts...I hope you will add your voice to the discussion.

    In preparing for the chat, I also wrote a blog post that I hope you will share with your colleagues and administrators. It gives a few reasons why every teacher should collaborate with arts teachers. Take a look and share your comments below the post.

    Thanks! I hope everyone is having a fantastic school year and is planning on attending the National Conference this summer!
