:: SAA Teaching Practicum ::
Offered for teachers of Piano
The SAA Practicum is a short-term course developed to enhance the SAAs system of short-term workshop training. While the core training units mainly focus on Suzuki repertoire and instrumental technique, emphasis of the Practicum is on honing the art of teaching. The Practicum is strongly recommended for all teachers. It provides skills for evaluating one’s teaching and an opportunity to teach with feedback from an SAA-registered teacher trainer. Explored topics include communication skills, teaching strategies, diagnostics and observation. In a nurturing and supportive environment of peers, using video footage from their home studio and on-site teaching, participants practice self-assessment skills to identify their strengths in teaching and those areas in need of improvement.
In keeping with the SAAs commitment to life-long learning, the Practicum provides teachers with an invaluable opportunity at any stage in their development. This course may be repeated as often as desired. To provide maximum opportunity, the enrollment is limited to five (5) participants.
Prerequisite: Completion and registration of book 1 and one year of Suzuki teaching experience.
