"The arts are so powerful because they connect to students' multiple intelligences and learning styles....Integrating the arts offers so many opportunities for experiential learning and assessments outside of the traditional ways, and you can really see what kids know in a higher-order-thinking way."

— Victoria Lightfoot, interview with the Milken Family Foundation

"Like many other first-year teachers, classroom management was my biggest struggle. Students would yell at me and then I would yell back....I learned quickly that this wasn't going to work. I also learned that students needed structure and routines. Many of the students I taught my first year had home experiences that were nothing like the way I grew up. I couldn't relate. I learned over the years that they just need someone to listen to them. I have completely changed my approach to classroom management and have seen great success in establishing routines and holding students to high expectations each and every day."
