1 credit per semester
Fall and Spring
Alice Jones, Adrian Rodriguez

Practicum in Classroom Pedagogy provides training and support to current Community Engagement Teaching Fellows. The seminar explores teaching and learning strategies, curriculum design, social-emotional learning, classroom management techniques, and digital pedagogy, as well as culturally responsive and anti-ableist teaching practices. Students will develop their skills as artist-educators through in-class presentations and discussions; workshops on syllabus creation, lesson planning, and group instrumental instruction; and regular teaching observations by Community Engagement staff, professional teaching artists, and music educators. Additionally, students will develop key components of their teaching portfolio, including sample lesson plans, a teaching philosophy statement, and digital educational content. Practicum in Classroom Pedagogy is required for all current Community Engagement Morse, Concert, and McCabe Teaching Fellows.
