POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music will welcome two accomplished teachers to campus to lead sessions on culturally responsive teaching in music education next week, as part of the 2017 Joy Anthony Douglass '56 Visiting Master Teacher Program.
Dr. Constance McKoy and Dr. Jacqueline Kelly-McHale will be in residence at The Crane School of Music from Monday, Sept. 25 to Friday, Sept. 29. During their visit, Dr. McKoy and Dr. Kelly-McHale will explore what it means to teach -- and learn -- within a culturally responsive classroom.
Through interactive sessions and roundtable conversations, Crane students and faculty will investigate culturally sustainable teaching approaches that acknowledge varied identities and expressions of diversity.
In addition, area K-12 educators have been invited to take part in McKoy and Kelly-McHale's visit by registering to receive professional development credit through St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES for completing sessions during the residency. Area teachers have been invited to attend sessions on Monday, Sept. 25, including "Honoring the Ear," "Teacher Identity and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy" and "Responsible Content Selection."
The two visiting master teachers will also offer a keynote discussion facilitated by SUNY Potsdam Chief Diversity Officer Bernadette Tiapo, on Monday, Sept. 25 at 3 p.m., in the Ralph Wakefield Recital Hall.
During their visit, the educators will lead sessions analyzing aural learning as a critical facet of music instruction, examining issues faced by educators who teach in schools or communities which are culturally different from those that they attended, and offering strategies for selecting curricula that acknowledges the ethnic and cultural diversity of a school district or class.
McKoy and Kelly-McHale will conclude their visit with a professional development roundtable, focused on the principles and practices of culturally responsive pedagogy. The roundtable will be held on Friday, Sept. 29 at 11 a.m., in the Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall.
This event, along with several others throughout the visit, will stream live on the Crane School of Music YouTube channel. To see these and other upcoming streaming concerts and events, visit www.potsdam.edu/academics/Crane/streaming.
