Every Child Can! An Introduction to Suzuki Education
Every Child Can!© (ECC) is an introduction to Dr. Suzuki’s philosophy and its application to Suzuki education. For parents, teachers, prospective teachers and others, this course provides an inspiring, in-depth look at the Suzuki approach to teaching and learning. For teachers, ECC serves as the first course in the Suzuki Association of the Americas’ Teacher Development Program. In addition to exploring the elements of the Suzuki approach and its far-reaching goals, it includes an introduction to learning styles, history of the development of Suzuki education, the role of parents, the importance of Suzuki pedagogical training, and an overview of the SAA’s role in supporting teachers and parents. A fast-paced, engaging and inspiring program, ECC includes video materials and SAA-developed courseware, and provides each participant with useful reference materials (manuals) for later study.
This course is required for all new Suzuki teachers, but open to non-teachers, prospective teachers, parents, administrators, and all others interested in learning about Suzuki approach to education. It is not instrument-specific. Experienced Suzuki teachers are also encouraged to participate for renewed inspiration or review.
QUALIFICATIONS TO PARTICIPATE
- High school graduation completed or within 6 months of graduation.
- There are no instrument proficiency requirements. (No audition is required.)
- There will be no auditor status for this course.
Additional Notes on Teacher Trainee Participation: Course participants are required to attend the full six hours of the class. At the end of the course, the Trainer will sign each person's prerequisite verification form, which will be kept by the participant and sent in when the participant signs up for a Book 1 course. As with SAA unit courses, no trainee may participate in "overlapping" courses. Trainee may not participate in more than one course simultaneously. Institute participants may begin Book 1 immediately following participation in ECC; however, the ECC Committee hopes that many trainees will take the ECC course further in advance to allow for time to process the material, complete the videotape process and enroll in courses on time.
