Identity, Belonging, and Agency: Building Social Emotional Competency in Music Teachers and Students
Clinician: Scott Edgar Workshop Director: Glenn Nierman
Description
He’s back! Many Nebraska music educators either attended Dr. Edgar’s UNL/GKSOM Workshop last summer or have read his books or Music Educators Journal articles on the topic of Social Emotional Learning (SEL). SEL has become THE education buzzword; however, many questions persist on how to embed it into the music classroom in intentional, sustained, and organic ways. The clinician, Dr. Scott Edgar, is Chair of Music and Director of Bands at Lake Forest College. He is an internationally acclaimed presenter on SEL, a Conn-Selmer Educational Clinician, and the author of Music Education and SEL, published by GIA. Whether you were with us in last summer’s SEL workshop or are just joining us for the first time, be prepared to be captivated by Dr. Edgar as he reviews basic SEL principles and continues to help us unpack and translate it for all areas and levels of music education. New to this year’s workshop will be dialogue about how SEL can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as serve as a catalyst for anti-racism. This will be a “don’t miss” event. Come join us!
