Teaching Music in Two Schools- The hard parts, the best parts, and tips if you're in this situation7/1/2024
I teach in a rural area and music teaching positions and full-time music positions are hard to come by, full-time music positions are nearly impossible. So when I was presented with the opportunity to get full-time music split between two schools I jumped at it. Now, I LOVE that I have this opportunity to teach music to more students and teach full-time music, but it does come with some challenges.

To say that being a music teacher during the Covid-19 global pandemic was a roller coaster ride is a bit of an understatement. It seemed like the plan was constantly changing, and protocols were being adapted. However, teachers should up for their kids every day and try to make their lives seem "normal."
Speaking of "normal," I can not wait to go back to a more normal teaching school year. I look forward to teaching in my music room, singing with my student, and not have to be six feet apart while playing games. There will be many things that I will be happy to see go with COVID, but there are a few lessons that I have learned from being a COVID Teacher that I will carry on with me during my career, and I think you should too. |
