Hey fellow teachers!
As I frantically prepare for my first week of school and weigh the myriad "first week" activities I am looking up, I am reminded that Teaching is the profession most likely to suffer from vocal distress!
I have been a singer and voice teacher but I got vocal nodes during a very stressful period in my life which made me become very aware of vocal health! I discovered this awesome site - it's free - and has LOTS of good info!

The Voice Academy
A no cost, virtual school just for teachers!
Stay healthy folks! Hydrate, rest, use methods to get attention other than trying to talk louder than the kids... and get enough sleep. (ha!) ;-)
“Good teachers possess a capacity for connectedness. They are able to weave a complex web of connections among themselves, their subjects, and their students so that students can learn to weave a world for themselves.” ― Parker J. Palmer, The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life
