Course Description
Every student in our classroom has needs. Many children learn best in a variety of ways – with multiple paths for engagement towards understanding. Through the lens of access, equity, and inclusion, this workshop focuses on the struggles that general music teachers face as they strive to ensure a quality music education for all of their students. Teachers will learn about practical ways to engage learners of all abilities. After learning and experiencing what adaptive music can look like, teachers will be engaged in “leveling-up” a lesson of their choice to make it more adaptive and accessible for students in their classroom.
