SLAM - Crafting Culture Professional Development

Welcome to SLAM - Crafting Culture Professional Development! Join us at Woodland High School for two days of learning, networking, and fun. Crafting Culture is a 12-hour intensive certification course designed to empower music programs from the ground up through interactive sessions that focus on the synergy created between human connection and music.

The interactive training provides tools and strategies to strengthen your ensembles, creating a reflective community where everyone experiences a positive sense of self and belonging built on trusting relationships.

Nationally recognized presenters will delve into the significance of connection, character, motivation, and teacher feedback in enriching a comprehensive program. Ultimately, they will share the importance of leading by example, emphasizing the necessity for music teacher leaders who foster a culture of excellence driven by student-centered practices that nurture a sense of ownership and autonomy throughout all aspects of the program.
