Interest Session - Renaissance, Ballroom CD HED Discussion Panel 2016: The Breakdown Between the Higher Ed Classroom and First Year Teacher Experiences James Zingara, Moderator
A common complaint among new music educators is that they feel woefully underprepared for the realities that they experience in their classrooms. Is higher education responsible for this knowledge gap, or should the blame be placed on the students, themselves? What can be done to close this gap and help make our students feel better prepared for the workplace? How can higher education serve to help the students to better understand the enormity of the responsibilities they are striving to assume? This Higher Education Division panel discussion will feature representatives from elementary/secondary education as well as representatives from the university level. The panel will address these questions and more from both sides of the equation. Hosted by the HED President with questions taken from the HED membership.
