Traveling Tales and Legal Trails: A Teacher’s Compass

When a teacher decides to go from the classroom to exploring the big, wild world, it's pretty much like flipping a book open to a brand new chapter they’ve never seen before. There’s a ton of excitement about checking out different cultures, learning things that you won’t find in textbook pages, and collecting stories that are going to light up kids' minds back home. But, while you’re getting all hyped up choosing what to pack and planning out your travels, there’s something important but not quite as fun that often gets overlooked: making sure you’ve got your legal ducks in a row.

In the season of spring, nature reminds us of change, of resilience, of hope.

Spring months see at least two other times which include elements of change, resilience, and hope in their stories: international celebrations of women, and celebrations of Ireland connected with the time of Saint Patrick’s day in mid-March.

All of those come in to the creativity of the musicians whose work you will find below.

In whichever season you may be reading this, may the work of these artists be a good companion to you.

Through the Eyes of an Educator: Bridges, Change, and Transitions

I went to university in Boston. Driving from New York meant going over at least one giant bridge. Each time I hit that bridge, I’d notice something shift. My fingers clenched, my shoulders tightened, I hugged the divider, and focused hard on following those in front of me in order to make it to the other side. A few minutes after crossing, the color returned to my fingers and my whole body exhaled. Regardless of the season, state of the roads, or precipitation from the sky, crossing that bridge was often the most nerve-wracking part of that drive.
