A really big two-part episode this week on Teaching in the Arts. First up is Jeff McCarter from Free Spirit Media, followed by my main guest is James Warda who teaches with me at Loyola University in Chicago. We have a really great conversation about being a first time college teacher, about what we are passionate about, and especially bringing a human approach to the work place.
I am not sure it is fair to call James a renaissance man, but here’s a sampling of his work: He’s the author of the book, Where Are We Going So Fast: Finding the Sacred in Everyday Moments, he writes the Chicago Now Blog by the same name, he plays guitar and sings in The Groove Band and, oh yeah, he is a first time college teacher. We have a lot to talk about, and it is a great chat.
But before James, at the start of the show, Jeff McCarter from Free Spirit Media returns to share some exciting news. Jeff was on Teaching in the Arts way back in March, and you can hear that episode here. Jeff continues his great work at Free Spirit Media, and the organization continues to grow and thrive, and help young people. A sampling of Free Spirit Media’s recent work is below.
