  • This clinic will empower educators to create string classrooms that are fundamentally trauma-informed by providing research-based practical tools and pedagogical approaches & sequencing that cultivate students’ safety and capacity to thrive. We will define trauma, discuss how to recognize trauma responses, and provide practical tools for regulating the nervous system. Through a vibrant and dynamic presentation utilizing slides, video, and group discussion, educators will be equipped with effective and innovative tools & strategies that create trauma-informed classrooms.

  • The clinic will help educators tap into the power of beginning string education, as they explore the ways building a strong foundation can help underserved students build resiliency and hope, and transform trajectories. Attendees will be equipped with innovative sequencing, pedagogical approaches, and strategies that create powerful beginning string programs with high retention rates, high parental involvement, and high-level foundations.

  • In this workshop, educators will be given the tools to create culturally-responsive classrooms that support students to be seen and heard within their social locations. Participants will learn how to blend and develop frameworks from sociological and psychological theories into practical application for the string classroom. Priority will be focused on equity-rooted practices, culturally aware and sensitive repertoire selection, and classroom structures that promote safety. Programs will also be resourced practical examples of how to create culturally responsive community and parental relationships that are key to thriving programs.
