CURRICULUM AND POLICY IN MUSIC AND EDUCATION 2022

COURSE DESCRIPTION
 
This course examines the relationship between curricular and policy practices within various arenas of Music and Music Education and how they impact the professional lives of artist educators. Through the study of traditional and contemporary models, practices and theories, students will gain an understanding of how best to understand and construct curricular and policy practice and thinking. Students will also understand how such practices and theories can directly impact learning, program development, and innovative enterprises developed by artists and educators.
 
This course will also and particularly focus on challenges placed on music and arts organization and practitioners by calls for decolonization, indigenization and anti-racist efforts in music and music education. This means an exploration of the manner in which curricular and policy thinking, research and activism have an impact on everyday education and production in the arts—from schools to arts organizations to Non-Governmental Organizations. As a result of experience with this course—designed to be dynamic, hands on, collaborative, and conceptually challenging—students will be able to better evaluate their own professional engagements with music, as well as image ways in which their own future curricular and policy practices can be transformative and empowering.

Curriculum Policy Brief - Final Projects
The goal for this project is to present a strong, clear, and yet complex argumentation. This involves having a purpose, developing a rationale that will convince key players of the significance and value of the new strategy or project, establishing data points and language appropriate to support your decisions (texts, video, image and sound), outlining specifics and general aims and of course talking about the implications of said plan (how it will impact participants/community).
