Clinician: Doug Pelt, Timothy Christian Schools, Elmhurst, IL
9:00-10:00
Some of the key topics discussed were video, flipped classroom, flipped learning, differentiated instruction, tutuorials, guided practice, enhanced content, video lectures & Project-Based Learning (PBL)
Many useful tips and tricks, in addition to useful/dependable materials/supplies, were shared that may be used for video production. These videos would be used to engage students beyond the classroom setting in a variety of ways, building a community of trust and accountability amongst teacher and students, rather than using ready-made videos all the time.

Krista Chmiel taught movement ideas from birth and up through the age of 7, based within the teaching philosophies of John Feierabend and the Dalcroze method, using basic children's folk songs and building up to more exciting works in the upper years, such as an electronic version of Aaron Copland's Hoedown by Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

We learned a variety of ways to involve students in listening activities and engage them in higher-level thinking processes to help process the music, walking away with a much deeper understanding and appreciation for the songs we are teaching.
Session 5: Teaching Traditional Dance to Upper Elementary
Clinicians: Peter and Mary Alice Amidon
3:00-4:00
We learned several traditional dances in a fun, energetic way to teach upper elementary students. We danced to The Noble Duke of York, Sasha, and a couple other songs. My favorite was when we got to be royal kings and queens and ask our partner "May I have this dance?" When I left the sessions for the afternoon I bought the book, "Alabama Gal," which many of the songs and activities came from!
Session 6: Performance by the Millikin University Choir, conducted by Brad Holmes
The Millikin University Choir performed a wide variety of music demonstrating their outstanding harmonies. Their voices complemented one another so well! They looked and sounded stunning! What a phenomenal choir! I wish all of my students could see this performance in person.
