21st Century Music Education: Making Responsive Teaching and Collaborative Learning Visible
(PLEASE BRING A RECORDER/UKULELE IF YOU HAVE ONE)
As music educators work to ensure that learning is accessible to every student while addressing their needs for academics and social-emotional growth, 21st century frameworks such as Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Teaching for Understanding, Understanding by Design, 21st Century Education, and the Teaching Tolerance Anti-Bias Framework may be utilized. These frameworks are underpinned by common threads—addressing social emotional affect, building relationships, developing healthy interactions, ongoing assessment, thinking creatively, differentiation, inclusion, inspiring creativity, curiosity, and wonder, and focusing on collaborative learning as optimal learning.
The 21st century approach makes teaching and learning visible by integrating key principles of 21st century general education curriculum frameworks into teaching while keeping the joy of active music making at the core. Ongoing assessments for and of learning, strategies for collaborative learning and respectful communication, culturally relevant and responsive teaching, purposeful choice of songs, chants, stories and poetry and structuring feedback are integral components of the 21st century model. This workshop provides some strategies to sing, say, dance and play in a responsive way.
