Course Highlights
Culturally Responsive Teaching
In this course, you will gain the knowledge and skills to reach students who are culturally and racially different from you within the music class and ensemble setting. You will explore your own assumptions about race, class, and culture; and learn strategies for creating classrooms that are culturally inviting to all. You will learn principles of Culturally Responsive Teaching, including affirming students’ cultural connections, stressing collectivity as well as individuality, and managing the classroom with firm, consistent, caring control.
Identity and Culture in the Classroom
Explores the many ways in which identity impacts educators and students in the classroom, with a focus on race, language, socio-economic status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and physical and learning abilities. Analyzes common music education materials as they relate to cultural competency, with emphasis on critiquing and revising traditional music education. Watch: Longy’s Teacher Education Program
