WINTER SHARING

Not Just Souvenirs: Unpacking Music Literacy Skills from Multicultural Singing Games and Dances.
|
KEI is pleased to welcome Ruth Dorr (West Des Moines) and Sara McCue (Marshalltown) to share their expertise with us on world music and music literacy.
Kodály-inspired educators can use the strengths of our teaching strategies to welcome and bring joy to our ELL/ immigrant populations. The music classroom and musical performances are the perfect place to validate and encourage students and families to embrace the American experience, while cherishing and retaining their original culture. Ruth will share songs and games that she uses to accomplish these goals.
Sara, along with her colleagues Jacob Barker and Jolene Kubli, will give an overview of SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) and ELP (English Language Proficiency) standards as well as examples of SIOP lessons through the lens of a Kodály-inspired educator. She will also share ideas about how to intentionally teach language in a music class.
Following the sessions from the presenters, all who attend are encouraged to bring songs, games, dances and children’s literature from around the world to share with participants. Our focus is not just incorporating world music into the general music classroom but rather how to use world music to teach rhythmic and melodic concepts. As usual, a soup luncheon will be provided following the sharing. Come in out of the cold and kick off the new year with KEI!
Items to Note:
• New format, 9am-1pm with a short mid-morning break
• Lunch is provided at 1pm, please bring a food item to share
• KEI board will meet during/after lunch
• Cost: $15 for teachers, $10 for first-year teachers, $5 for college students, free for Grand View students
