Professional development (PD) opportunity for early childhood educators!
In this (free!) workshop, you will strengthen your confidence in leading musical activities(regardless of prior music training!), and gain practical, effective strategies for integrating music into dial routines, transitions, and learning domains, guided by current research.
You’ll get a chance to engage with other early childhood educators, reflect on your practice and plan, and leave with aa toolkit of songs and materials that can immediately be applied to and adapted to your own settings.
PD runs from January-March and includes 3 face-to-face sessions and 1 online session.

How a #uhmcoeambassador relieves stress:
Bus 13 from UH to Waikīkī is my ride to instant relaxation — music in my ears, waves waiting at the shore, and the island vibes of diverse chill people all around.
