Join us in celebrating excellence in education with this Golden Apple moment.

Music being about revolution and change, it's a chance for me to inspire my students to think beyond conventions.

It's an opportunity to tell them that their voice matters.

What you have to say is important, and so how are you going to use music to say that in a way that's going to impact others?

As a teacher, my job is to dream big dreams for my students until they can start to see those dreams as their potential or their future.

I really see it as just a heart and mindset to grow all kids.

And if you have that as a fundamental question of how do we make a space within our classrooms where all kids thrive and are seen and known, it leads to practices that put the kids at the center of what we're doing.

The joy of teaching is inspiring the students to see those possibilities and to see themselves walking into that future.
