SUMMARY:Developmentally Appropriate Practice and Music Learning
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lili M. Levinowitz\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Music Education at Rowan University and Director of Research for the Center for Music and Young Children\nSponsored by Music Together \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nDevelopmentally Appropriate Practice is the path to supporting young children’s growth and learning throughout the early years. Did you know that research in music education also points to the importance of Developmentally Appropriate Practice when teaching and making music with children? \nIn this webinar\, learn about the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s definition of Developmentally Appropriate Practice and the 3 core considerations – and how these can be adapted to apply to early childhood music education. Developmentally appropriate songs and teaching strategies that best support children’s music development in the early childhood classroom were introduced. Even if you are not a music educator\, this recorded session will provide you with a new lens through which to look at Developmentally Appropriate Practice in early childhood education. \nJoin the Arts & Music in Early Learning community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \n \nLili M. Levinowitz\, Ph.D.\, is Professor of Music Education at Rowan University. She is the coauthor of the early childhood music and movement program Music Together and Director of Research for the Center for Music and Young Children. Lili is considered a national authority on early childhood music and is actively involved in teaching very young children as well as graduate students. Her articles appear frequently in professional journals and popular magazines. She received her M.M. and Ph.D. from Temple University; her B.M. from Westminster Choir College. \n  \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING \n  \nAt Music Together\, we understand the importance of music in early childhood—from birth\, in fact. Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.

SUMMARY:7 Best Practices and Pitfalls of Professional Development
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Rena Hall\, Director of Training and Professional Development\, Frog Street Press\nSponsored by Frog Street Press \nWATCH THE WEBINAR RECORDING\nEvery teacher can probably describe a boring or downright ineffective professional-development (PD) experience they’ve encountered. In fact\, one out of three professional development experiences can be categorized as ineffective. There are many challenges when trying to design a successful and engaging professional development program for continuous teacher education. \nTeachers tackle new challenges each year from advances in technology\, new instructional methods\, change in subject content etc.\, and these challenges pose the question\, “What is the most effective professional development?” The objectives of professional development and effective continuous teacher education is to help teachers reflect on their competencies\, develop and enhance those competencies\, and to keep current on the theory and practice to improve teaching and learning in the classroom. Professional development activities may include workshops\, faculty and department meetings\, state/local conferences\, credit and non-credit college courses (classroom or online)\, professional learning communities\, peer observation/coaching\, or individual study. \nWhether an administrator looking for useful tips or an educator who wants to hone his/her own skills\, the research-based hints in this presentation will help teachers avoid some of the most common problems and mistakes made in professional development training programs. This webinar will bridge best practices with the core tenets of professional development\, alerting educators to the items to practice (peaks) and to avoid (pitfalls). Dr. Hall discussed these highly transformative resources\, strategies and practices. \nJoin the Early Childhood Learning Solutions community to participate in online discussions with peers\, for invitations to upcoming webinars\, to view past webinar recordings\, to take a quiz and receive a CE certificate for a past webinar\, and for access to more resources. \n  \nDr. Rena Hall has been a leader in the educational arena for the past twenty years; she has held many positions in higher education\, nonprofit management and within the federal government.
