My first dog, Zubin, taught me a great lesson about building connection. Today’s episode will talk about the importance of building connection between our students rather than quickly assuming that children are misbehaving or unwilling to learn. I offer up a few stories from my teaching studio and my donkeys on my Texas ranch, and I throw in a brief look at John Cage’s aleatory compositions.
I mentioned a really terrific book that I am reading and plan to podcast about in the near future. Here is a link to that book if you wish to get a head start on reading it.
