This memoir follows the life and 30-year DC Public Schools career of honored educator Joyce Garrett who founded the "Excellence Without Excuses" program, using choral music to teach the values of perseverance, self-discipline, teamwork, loyalty, high achievement, and higher education. This book chronicles how she inspired her students to reach beyond their immediate grasps, lead purposeful lives, and fulfill their dreams. Many students did not understand basic values like: dependability, punctuality, loyalty, self-control, and high achievement. If they made a commitment and ran into a problem, they would not re-group. Singers often gave up without considering Plan B or Plan C. Garrett used the after-school "Excellence Without Excuses" program as an incubator to provide an alternate environment to change the way her students experienced the world. By the mid 1990s, she recognized a shift in attitudes. Students began to see high achievement and going to college in a positive light. The transformation was happening before everyones eyes. It seemed like a miracle!</p>...5344284Excellence Without Excuses: A Music Teachers Odyssey205205https://www.gandhi.com.mx/excellence-without-excuses---a-music-teachers-odyssey-9798350922127/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/5173830/image.jpg?v=638612439659930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249798350922127_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9798350922127_<p>Growing up in the segregated South, Joyce Garrett dreamed of becoming a high school music teacher patterned after her high school choral director. She got that opportunity when hired by the District of Columbia Public School System in the turbulent mid-1960s. In a career encompassing over 30 years, she managed to inspire and greatly impact the lives of countless students through building a world class choral music program. The "Excellence Without Excuses" program emphasized more than music. Students were taught life skills and the importance of accountability, dependability, hard work, and academic achievement culminating with a world class performance at the prestigious International Youth and Music Festival in Vienna, Austria. These accomplishments lead to special invitations including the White House, international travel, performances with Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, James Taylor, among many others, and the Super Bowl XLIII halftime show with Bruce Springsteen.
