Lorrie Heagy and George Holly | Wooch éen (Together): Building Trust in Indigenous Communities
For In-Service Music Teachers
Wednesday, February 7th (8:00pm EST)
How can music educators contribute to systemic change in their classroom, school and district and have sound culturally responsive practices as the foundation? What are some step-by-step things teachers can do to bridge the gap between the classroom and the cultures of the area? This session will highlight the power of building strong, positive relationships with culture bearers to improve educational learning for all students through music. Athabascan songster Yuxgitsiy George Holly and Longy faculty Lorrie Heagy will share how trusting relationships and a passion to honor and value the cultural heritage of all students can lead to innovative and powerful teaching and learning.
