Practicing Musician is looking for volunteers to join the Professional Development Roundtable, which will consist of Regional Representatives across the United States, to identify what professional development and/or teaching tools are needed in the field of music education.
The Regional Representatives and Roundtable Chair will collaborate with the Practicing Musician administrative team in order to identify the professional development needs of teachers and facilitate training in those areas.
Over the last few months, a team of over 140 educator volunteers – three of whom are writers of the National Core Arts Standards and Model Cornerstone Assessments – have joined forces with Practicing Musician to create a comprehensive online learning library and easy-to-distribute assignments that will be provided to K-12 music programs completely free of charge, forever. Practicing Musician lessons are organized such that educators can personalize learning and assign the content via the learning management system they already use, and all content is downloadable for students who do not have consistent or stable internet access at home.
Practicing Musician is looking for music educators who share their vision and have the drive and willingness to help achieve it to join the team. Educators can network with like-minded and driven music educators from across the country, gain additional resume enhancing experiences, and hone their presentation.
Educators who are interested can apply here.
