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 wanting to take advantage of this opportunity for their teachers should contact Roger Hall, OMEA Executive Director, at executive_director@omea-ohio.org or 330-833-5677.
