Save the Music Foundation & ArtsEdSEL: Belonging and SEL in Music Education
When students experience a sense of belonging, they have the foundation needed to flourish as musicians and individuals. When music educators are intentional about embedding social-emotional learning into the classroom by establishing supportive routines, modeling the importance of relationships, and demonstrating the value of community, the music classroom becomes a space that welcomes and lifts up the voice and cultural assets of every student. In this episode, engage with Alysia Lee and Darlene Machacon as they share practices that lead to authentic belonging through music education!
Presented by Save The Music Foundation and the Center for Arts Education and Social Emotional Learning (ArtsEdSEL).
