Wes,
I have really enjoyed this series thus far. I have posted my thoughts on point #6 at my blog site.

I had to let you know that you really have struck paydirt with this podcast. I’ve been listening for quite a while and sharing your podcasts for almost as long. Guideling #6 from your list really got me. I teach a methods course for Elementary Education majors – Pre-Service teachers – on using music in their classrooms to help teach other concepts. Yes, I do believe that music in its own right is an important curricular area, but, I also know that music will help teach other “stuff” as well. (A whole different rant!) I listened to your Podcast #63 on Wednesday, and then played Guideline #6 to my classes today, Thursday. We had just talked on Tuesday about the need to create a safe environment in the classroom so that their students will be able to create knowing that it is safe and no one will put them down because of their creation. I had commented that there are times when, yes, there is a “right” answer, but that we want our students to go for the thinking where there isn’t a “right” and “wrong” answer. We need them to be creative and figure out things on their own. As you commented, what if Thomas Edison HAD quit when things didn’t work out the first – or even fifth – time??? I like my light bulbs!
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Good luck with your new job. I think the job sounds WONDERFUL!
