Every year, the world celebrates Earth Day on April 22nd, a day the United Nations recognizes as International Mother Earth Day. It is a day to remind ourselves of the importance of clean air, fresh water, and unlittered land. It’s when we can all participate in making that happen rather than accepting the trash-filled oceans, the smoggy skies, and the debris-laden land that is becoming the norm in our lives.

For more than 100 years, high schools and colleges have relied on the same stalwart tool to measure teaching and learning: the clock. That’s because earning credit toward a diploma or degree typically requires students to spend a minimum number of hours receiving instruction in the classroom. Now, the institution that developed the time-based standard more than a century ago that is used throughout education is calling for the creation of a different way to quantify academic progress.

As a teacher, when you walk in your classroom it is expected that you will talk, talk, and probably talk some more. This can lead to vocal problems that over time can do more damage and lead to reduced interaction and engagement with your students in an effort to ‘save your voice.’ Beyond using your “outside voice” inside the classroom, what can you do to manage your vocal health so that sore throats and sick days are minimized?
