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.

Learn how to get involved in school-wide discussions, share your unique insights, and gain the respect you deserve as an essential part of student success.

You’ll walk away with:

🎶 A clear understanding of what collaborative response teams do

🎶 Strategies for making your voice heard as a music teacher

🎶 Practical ways to connect with colleagues and advocate for your students

It’s time to move from feeling isolated to feeling valued! Listen now! 🎧
