Introduction to Wolf
Trap:
Music, Movement and Drama -- Art and Education in
Harmony
Explore techniques
and approaches of teaching the whole child. Through the
performing arts, you'll breathe life into theories of
development and education.
Extend your use of performing arts techniques from circle
time to your learning centers. Strengthen your staff's use
of the performing arts. Learn new variations that go beyond
the Wolf Trap handbooks. This workshop is a refresher for
Wolf Trap Artist-in-Residency trained teachers.
Using a multi-sensory approach, children feel positive and
handle conflicts peacefully. You will learn through hands-on
activities and music to teach these skills to
children.
Songs and music children love
Everybody can dance and every body can
dance
Multicultural storytelling using puppetry, dramatic
play and role play
Creative Arts Activities
for Children with Special Needs
Rejuvinate your special needs program with original songs,
movement, and imaginative play for children aged two to six
years. Wolf Trap handbook supplements and cassettes are
available to Wolf Trap trained teachers.
Howard Gardner of Harvard University contends that there are
separate human capacities ranging from musical intelligence
to an intelligence which allows one to understand
him/herself. This workshop describes the theory and research
supporting the concept of multiple intelligence and
impementation strategies for preschool through early
elementary teachers. What are you already doing? What can
you do to give your students more opportunities for success?
Michigan Wolf Trap artists demonstrate how the arts are used
in an integrated curriculum to support multiple
intelligence.
Learn new and effective ways to honor the cultures and
traditions of the children in your classroom. Learn creative
approaches to recognize and involve parents in your program.
Artists may need sound equipment.
