This practical resource for music educators provides 15 fully-developed and classroom-vetted instructional plans with assessments that are aligned to articulate learning from kindergarten through grade 12. With these instructional lessons and adaptations for K-12 music and STEM classes, pre-service educators, in-service educators, and administrators can better understand and immediately use tools for planning, assessing, and the practical integrating of STEM with Music.
As authors Shawna Longo and Zachary Gates demonstrate, the arts bring creativity and innovation to the forefront in STEM learning. This book helps music teachers make natural connections between science, technology, engineering, math, and music. To do so, the book frames twenty-first century learning skills and career-ready practices so that the creativity and innovation necessary to succeed in STEM content areas and careers can be directly addressed by the educational community. The connection that the book makes between STEM content areas and music stimulates inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Artistic thinking has always been essential to the core focus of STEM: creatively engaging knowledge to build things and solve problems. The STEAM concepts herein not only acknowledge that 'A,' they embrace it, empowering educators to offer skeptical students an entryway to STEAM through the arts, and analytically minded students creative ways to express their conclusions. * Bill Carbone, Executive Director, Teachrock.org * Whether you are a music teacher who has been asked to integrate STEM into your curriculum for the first time,or a seasoned STEM expert, what Longo and Gates have assembled in this excellent manuscript is a crystal clear roadmap for a meaningful and relevant pedagogical approach to STEM integration. Rather than looking at STEM as a justification for teaching music in schools, this collection of classroom-tested lesson plans and assessment strategies focuses on how music can illustrate why STEM is so important.AThis fun and engaging approach to STEM integration is a must have addition to any music educator's library. * Jim Frankel, Founder/Director of MusicFirst, Adjunct Associate Professor, Teachers College Columbia University * In Integrating STEM with Music, Longo and Gates provide the most comprehensive resource for a music-centered STEAM approach I have found available. Using an authentic foundation of integration, along with practical examples, this is a must-have book for all 21st century music educators. * Susan Riley, Founder and CEO, The Institute for Arts Integration and STEAM *
