A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the Building a Sustainable Teaching Career Panel! The evening was filled with thoughtful conversation, practical advice, and honest reflections from both veteran and early-career educators.
Our UTeach Fine Arts students had the opportunity to connect with panelists in focused small groups before coming together for a larger Q&A session, creating space for meaningful dialogue and candid questions. Hearing directly from educators who once stood in their shoes is an invaluable part of preparing for the student teaching journey ahead.
A special thank you to our amazing panelists for generously sharing your time, insight, and experiences. Your mentorship truly makes a lasting impact on our future teachers! 📚📝🎶🎭🪩🎨

A huge congratulations to UTeach Music Education & Butler School of Music alumna Lisa Holt, head choir director at Cedar Park High School, for being named one of the 10 finalists for the 2026 Grammy Music Educator Award! With over 20 years of experience, Lisa's impact on music education is truly inspiring. From starting her teaching journey as a student teacher at UT to now leading a thriving choir program and guiding her students to opportunities like performing with the Austin Symphony Orchestra, Lisa exemplifies dedication and passion. We're proud to have her represent UTeach Fine Arts as a Grammy finalist and celebrate her immense contributions to shaping the future of music education.
