AMASE Conference 2018: Music Integration For Resource and Special Education
Where words fail, music speaks." ~Hans Christian Andersen
Students in Special Education classes often miss out on making music at school. GITC aims to change this by training teachers and paraprofessional helpers to support these students to find their voices and abilities each day by strumming and singing to learn!
Sometimes making music proves to be one way students who learn differently find a new way to show what they know, or to overcome barriers to participation.
Many times in GITC classrooms, singing leads to non-verbal students speaking for the first time! The songs themselves can make a crucial difference.
GITC is developing best practices and resources for special educators in order to lead music responsively with students with special needs. This works because music is so adaptable. No one ever needs to be left out again.
This year, GITC is increasing the number of training opportunities for special educators thanks to grants from the Nordson Foundation and Qualcomm Charitable Foundation.
Please stay tuned for announcements of upcoming Special Education Adaptive Music conferences and trainings.
