 Hi! It's me again, two weeks in a row (kinda) that's good, right? Today I'm sharing a visual schedule I use. I use this in two ways.        1) On Google Slides, set up with each icon as its own individual icon, and then move each icon to the "Done" section after we complete it.       2) I have another set printed, laminated, and velcro-ed, and I move each icon from the "To Do" to the "Done" section in a similar, but more concrete, fashion, for the students that benefit from that.   Do you do anything similar? I'll talk about what my general session schedule is in more detail later.  If you are interested in downloading your own copy, click here !

 Hi, there. It's been awhile! My job has changed--a lot--and everywhere I go, trying to find ideas or inspiration to re-energize my practice as a school-based music therapist...I'm not finding it!  So I thought I'd share what I do, because that usually motivates me, too, and maybe it will spark something for someone else.  I think sometimes there is a true dearth of resources for music therapists--we tend to feel we have to monetize them--but truly, none of us are rolling in the dough.  So--I just want to share.  Here we go! What is your first big to-do for your school year? For me, there's a few things: *create a schedule *complete assigned trainings *attend start-up meetings *update data sheets *complete transfer reports *prep August cart So far, I've gotten my meetings and trainings all scheduled, updated my data sheets, and have put a couple of feelers out for scheduling, but the rest of the nitty gritty will kick in soon!  What are you doing this time ...
