Playful Procedures: Building a Community of Learners through a Responsive and Respectful Classroom

Guest Instructor: Matthew Stensrud, Washington D.C.

With the implementation of Responsive Classroom in elementary schools across the country, music educators can be an influential voice in the successful use of this process based, community driven and exploration centered approach. In this workshop, we’ll learn more about the basics of Responsive Classroom, how it looks in the elementary classroom, and why Responsive Classroom is a natural fit within Orff Schulwerk. So, let’s play, sing, speak, dance, move, and create!
