I am desperately trying to have them take responsibility for their own emotions and happiness and would love to hear your thoughts. Just new to fireside and still learning.

Glad to have you here on Fireside. Please share your experiences with us, your questions, what you're thinking about.
Are you bringing your love for music into your program at the International School? How are you using it?

On this, your own page at Fireside Learning, there is a box in the lower left panel which allows you to upload and play mp3 files. Just click on the button labeled "add music" and follow a few simple directions iteratively for each song you want to add.
I'm looking forward to listening to your songs!

- Welcome, Leigh!
If you have mp3 files of recorded songs you've written, please upload some of them to this Web site so we can listen to them. "Pedagogic passion" sounds like a great way to describe your return to teaching! Thanks for joining this little community of learners.
