1—ATDP at the GSE’s Commencement
Under the direction of Associate Dean and Graduate School of Education choirmaster, ATDP Faculty Director Frank C. Worrell, the choir sings a beautifully arranged madrigal at the School’s commencement ceremonies earlier this summer. The audience listens in rapt attention, as one by one they figure out that the words are the doctoral version of “No More Teachers, No More Books.”
