Teaching for Equity in the Elementary Music Room
Join this virtual workshop that focuses on creating a more equitable elementary music experience for all students. We will consider structural and systemic barriers to equity in music education as well as discuss barriers to learning for a variety of student populations, including those with ability differences, diverse identity characteristics, language barriers, and cultural differences. Participants will gain knowledge about utilizing tools such as Universal Design for Learning, Culturally Responsive/Sustaining Education, and Learning by Design in their planning. Further, music teachers will work in small groups to brainstorm ideas for their specific classroom setting/population. Come ready to empower yourself, and in doing so, empower your students!

Music, Movement and Visual Arts in the Orff Schulwerk
Music, movement/dance, poetry, and the fine arts all have the same source, which is the human need to express oneself and to communicate with each other. All of us are able to be creative in many ways on an elemental level. We shall experience the relation between the arts according to the parameters they have in common, but also their differences in using inspiration from artworks as well as creating our own examples.
Sofía López-Ibor (Level I) studied flute, recorder and music education at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid, Spain and is a graduate of the Orff Institute in Salzburg, Austria. She is past-president of Orff España, co-directs their summer course and teaches seminars and courses throughout the world. She is the co-author of Quien Canta Su Mal Espanta and author of the groundbreaking Blue is the Sea: Music, Movement and Visual Arts in the Orff Schulwerk and co-author of Music From Five Continents. With over 37 years of experience teaching children of all ages, Sofía completed her 26th year at The San Francisco School.
