AMusEd

Blurb from the CMEA Handout on the session: This session was designed as a live podcast focused on using technology for professional development and finding ways to develop your own professional learning community or support community followed by a Q&A session. At its core, AMusEd is a PLC: the four of us decided to meet weekly, discuss our teaching, ask for help, and explore a new topic relevant to our professional development. What makes ours different is we record ourselves and share it with the internet. AMusEd is not an advice podcast. We’re not experts, but we are interested in providing our podcast as a proxy for others who don’t have the support we enjoy especially isolated teachers and those in their first five years of teaching.

This week Olin brought on his colleague, Dr. Jason Gossett to talk about some of his research into what music educators value and how that has changed (or hasn't) in the last 30-40 years.

Dr. Gossett also oversees and conducts the Campus Band. Prior to entering higher education, Dr. Gossett spent 10 years as a highschool band director in Kentucky.
