Providing HOPE for educators. That's the tagline for So You Want To Teach?, a blog for brand new educators, veteran educators, and everyone in between. The idea for this blog was born from frustration. Joel, a brand new band instructor, found himself on the brink of quitting his job after his first year. Instead of quitting, he devoted his energy to finding out what makes a quality teacher. He shares his insights through articles like 5 Habits of Highly Effective Teachers, Questions That Will Save Your Career, and 25 Tips for Less Stress.
