The Journey from Music Student to Teacher

The Journey from Music Student to Teacher: A Professional Approach, Second Edition helps prospective educators transition from music student to professional music teacher. This textbook acknowledges that students must first reconcile their assumptions about learning and teaching before they can make thoughtful, informed decisions about their own professional education. Building upon personal experience is essential to an enhanced approach to the profession, and the topics and activities presented here guide readers to think not as students but as professionals, addressing the primary stages of teacher development. In three parts-Discovery of Self, Discovery of Teaching, and Discovery of Student Learning-the authors connect readers to theoretical foundations and the processes of becoming an insider to the profession. This updated Second Edition includes: - Integration of the 2014 National Core Arts Standards - Discussion of NAfMEs Model Cornerstone Assessments - Explorations of issues of equity, access, and inclusion for marginalized populations and new examples of culturally responsive pedagogy - Added coverage of innovative practices including popular music, technology for autonomous music-making, songwriting, and composition - Streamlined discussion of learning theory, focusing on the basic foundations of behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism The accompanying companion website at www.routledge.com/cw/raiber provides revised and updated "Connecting to the Profession" features that help enhance students' understanding of the ideas presented in the text, links to videos of K-12 music teaching and interviews with teachers, and additional resources for instructors. Featuring networking activities to aid in self-reflection, a glossary of terms, and a wealth of online resources and tools, The Journey from Music Student to Teacher is the culmination of more than 25 years of experience in secondary music classrooms, providing a framework for establishing professional role identity among preservice music educators during their introduction to the field.
