President Mark Langley extends his warm invitation to you; attend the 2015 Summer Reading Conference in Hot Springs July 27-29
There are two fantastic headliners for this year’s conference: Gretchen Harrison and Dr. Charlotte Mizener. On July 27 and 28 Gretchen will lead our secondary teachers in a series of sessions focusing on Finding Excellence in Teaching and Rehearsing, exploring resources for new choir teachers as well as experienced teachers. She will also speak on the importance of Finding Excellence in the Middle. This session will cover the unique rehearsal, management, planning. and literature selection process for middle school choirs. On Wednesday, July 29, we will have a track specifically designed to meet the needs of the elementary teachers. We are offering a single-day registration price for that day that is only available to teachers who are attending these sessions. Dr. Charlotte Mizener is a professor of music education at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate music education courses and applied harp. Dr. Mizener will lead our elementary teachers in three sessions aimed at using music to help teach across the curriculum. Her sessions are titled Managing for an Effective, Efficient, and Fun Classroom, Getting to the Core of English Language Arts Through Music, and Singing Counts! Songs and Activities that Reinforce Common Core Standsards in Mathematics. I sincerely hope you can come and be a part of this year’s conference! Mark Langley, NBCT, ArACDA President |
