Episode 217: Building Collaborative Learning Environments
This episode pulls wisdom from Betsy Cooke Weber, on building a culture of leadership, ownership and professionalism in our classrooms and ensembles. This loaded “how to” session comes from her appearance back in episode 45 with updated thoughts from my on how these ideas are working in my classroom.
“If I were to return to K-12, I would not touch the piano.” One of the most important things we do to teach students independence, resilience and leadership in a rehearsal is to CONVINCE them that they don’t need you in order to learn the music. This takes time, and commitment to a process, and a pedagogy that is committed to this ultimate outcome.
Another crucial component is the director’s intentional structuring of rehearsals in ways that kids have the time and the resources they need to become co-creators of the music with us. We will hear Betsy’s thoughts about this as well as my reflections about some of the practices I installed since I first had this conversation.
As always, I hope you find something useful here!
