The Art and Practice of Lesson Planning
Online via Zoom Meeting
Planning a class can be as creatively rewarding as teaching one when we engage our imagination, curiosity and even our sense of wonder. While every teacher has their own process, Michael will take participants in this Dalcroze Lab through his—from choosing a subject and narrowing objectives, to brainstorming activities and finding the right sequence to support student learning. We will build a lesson together from start to finish, with special attention to the growing list of pedagogy resources on the DSA website.
