FREE Professional Development Opportunity for your Music Teachers!
Is your district in need of purposeful, structured, collaborative, data-driven professional development
opportunities for your music educators? Are you looking for a way to stretch your limited (or non-existent)
PD budget? We can help! A generous grant from the Ohio Arts Council will allow the Ohio Music Education
Association (OMEA) to offer FREE conference registration to teachers from school districts in need. The 85th
Annual OMEA Professional Development Conference will spotlight the challenges and celebrate the successes
of urban and rural school music programs. Did you know that 72% of Ohio schools are classified as urban or
rural? (ODE, 2013) The conference, to be held in Cleveland on February 2-4, 2017, will offer sessions from
nearly 300 presenters including nationally respected clinicians Kate Fitzpatrick-Harnish (U of Michigan), Tom
Bracy (Chicago Public), Sean Jones (Berklee School of Music), and Laura Stack (Clearwater, FL). Topics will
include STEAM, classroom-management, music programs for special learners, OTES, multicultural music,
ESSA, and programs for non-traditional students.
Superintendents or curriculum directors wantin nity for their teachers should
contact Roger Hall, OMEA Executive Director, at or 330-833-5677.
