Bandmasters Review • December 2015

great teachers teach to their strengths. Great teaching and
creativity is the same no matter what area you are teaching.
I challenge you to seek out the best teachers in your school
or district and find out what works for these successful
teachers. There may be an English, choir, math teacher or
coach who teaches near you that has an effective way to
communicate and inspire students. Find out what works
for them and apply it to your situation. This network of
quality teaching can only make us stronger.
As I write this article with less than one week to
Thanksgiving, I am thankful for all of the people in my
life that have and continue to make me a better person,
educator and administrator. I feel honored and thankful to
be serving on the TBA Board. I hope that you take some
time for yourself and your family over the holidays and
remember why we do what we do and be thankful for all
the people who support you. I look forward to seeing you
at the next convention—The Midwest Clinic, TMEA and/
or TBA.
From the Board - Jeff King
