Elementary Section Mini-Conference 2022
2022-04-30 | Wesleyan Christian Academy, 1917 North Centennial Street, High Point, NC, 27262
Members of the Elementary Section Board are committed to providing support to elementary music teachers across the state in as many ways are needed. One of the areas we have found districts fall short for music teachers is content-specific professional development opportunities. In addition to the fall NCMEA conference, the Elementary Section also offers a Spring Mini-Conference on a Saturday in late March or April. This is 1 full day of sessions presented by practicing master teachers to help further knowledge, add to music teachers’ “bag of tricks” with engaging activities, provide audition tips for Honors Chorus, and re-energize teachers with new ideas to get through the end of the school year. If you are interested in presenting a session for the mini-conference, proposals are accepted during January and February.
This year’s mini-conference will be on Saturday, April 30 at Wesleyan Christian Academy in High Point. Please see the flyer for more detailed information on presenters, sessions, and registration.
If you have further questions, please contact Section Chair Dawn Wilson at elementary_section@ncmea.net.
