We will be reading Teach Like It's Music by Doug Goodkin. We will have online sessions in the evening discussing the book.
This book study will be the same prices as a our normal workshop fee. Participants will have access to a Google Classroom for this course. It is best to use a personal email instead of your school email to access the course. Can't make all of the sessions live? No worries! They will be recorded and you will answer a few questions about the recording to receive credit for the workshop.
This book study is worth 10 in-service hours.
About the book:
How might we teach in a way that uplifts both the children and ourselves? How do we give a shape and design to our classes that refreshes and energizes? How might we create a musical flow and make our classes truly sing?
Doug Goodkin reveals the thinking behind his long teacher career of with both children and adults of all ages. As an internationally renowned music educator, he guides us to making music classes - any classes - more memorial, magical and musical. From the nitty-gritty details of "The Neat Shoe Club" to the grand sweep of Alfred North Whitehead's Three Stages of Mental Growth, this book offers both pedagogical reflection and practical ideas for the music classroom and beyond. The ideas presented here will inspire all teachers to teach with more playfulness, passion and purpose. source
