Students, teachers, and the community deserve better. It is time to work smarter and draw from our teacher practitioners' passions. For example, if you have a degree in media arts, with video as a major, maybe we must have you teach it. Place teachers into teaching slots who have a passion for the subjects they teach. Can you imagine the creativity?

What Stirs podcast
Conversations for stories of practice on movement, mindfulness, the creative process, and social justice happen around creating meals. As I slice, chop, and prepare a meal, thoughts for the next podcast and blog sometimes come while spicing and marinating dishes. As an educator and choreographer, the creative process for me begins to stir in the kitchen. Welcome to the podcast "What Stirs" I am your host, Dr. Desiree Cremer, the Cooking Choreographer.
Paprika chicken with kale potatoes
Paprika chicken is a hearty meal that is quick and easy to make, especially when you need some spice in your life. Cooking in my social justice kitchen is all about the conversations and possibly outrages regarding the days and or life events. Preparing the Paprika chicken meal comes with a flow sequence, a series of steps. I thought of the flavorful conversations on my podcast, “What Stirs,” with the generous, inspiring guests. There are many ways to make Paprika Chicken; this is my version.
Masala chicken
Masala chicken is a quick and easy meal that gives just that tangy kick in the week. After teaching all day, I want something thing that reminds me of home in Cape Town. So I go to my version of masala chicken. As I prepared this dish in my social justice kitchen, I thought about what makes an educational leader? What are the challenges? A spicy meal for a spicy topic, my next blog.
Dijon mustard with chicken and portobello mushrooms is one of my comfort foods after a long choreographic teaching day. It is quick and healthy. As I prepared this meal in my social justice kitchen, I thought of how the school system should allow students to graduate once they earned their 24 credits. Indeed a topic for my next blog.
