    3 Words I Can't Stand That Might Surprise You

    There are three words I hear constantly in my world. You've probably said at least one of them. And in this episode, I'm finally saying why they drive me absolutely mad. In this episode you'll hear: The three words I can't stand and why they might surprise youWhy I never assume what a student can or can't do before letting them show me firstThe difference between admiration and actually being inspired and why it mattersWhat this job really looks like on the hard days and what genuinely keeps me goingThe front row experiment and why I think it could change thousands of kids' confidence overnight Because my students don't need your assumptions. They need your belief. And after this episode, I think you'll see why. One daisy can only do so much. But together we create the chain. 🌼

    Equal vs. Equality: What Every Performing Arts Teacher Needs to Know

    What's the difference between treating students equally and giving them what they actually need? In this episode I tackle the "treat everyone the same" myth head-on — and explain why this seemingly kind idea can quietly exclude the very students you're trying to support. I'll share the strategies I use every day at Perform Ability, an analogy involving an iPhone charger that might just change how you think about learning, and a personal story that still sits with me years later. Because the arts are only truly for everyone when we're willing to show up differently for each student. Come on this journey with me. I hope that as you listen and learn with me because I am just as passionate about learning as I am about teaching you'll want to change the world too. Because one daisy can only do so much. But together we create the chain. 🌼 Welcome to The Daisy Chain Effect.
