TENDING TO TEACHER - In Person at Cleveland State University
Presenter: Roger Sams
Saturday, March 5, 2022, 9:00am-1:00pm
In recent years education has made a beautiful pivot towards tending to the emotional well-being of students through SEL. But are we attending to the emotional well-being of teachers? This workshop will use the medium of Orff Schulwerk (Singing, Saying, Moving, Playing) with a particular focus on nurturing YOU! Roger will guide you through Schulwerk processes that create space for you to explore and nourish your inner landscape through artmaking. We'll end out time together with small group exploration of how you can adapt what you learned about self-care through Orff Schulwerk processes and how you can use these processes in similar ways with your students, supporting resilience and well-being while cultivating musical skills.
Roger Sams retired from the music classroom in 2013 after 31 years of teaching music in public and private schools. He has served as adjunct faculty, teaching methods courses and supervising student teachers at Cleveland State University and has been on the faculty in teacher education programs at the University of St. Thomas, Cleveland State University, Akron University, the University of Montana, University of Missouri-St. Louis, Vandercook College of Music and other venues throughout the US. Roger is a regular presenter at state, regional, national, and international conferences, has served on the AOSA National Board of Trustees, and has worked with teachers in Canada, China, Indonesia, India, South Korea, Poland, Spain, and Scotland.
Trained in Gestalt therapy, Roger is interested in the power of choice in the artistic process, teaching, and life. He is the co-author of “Purposeful Pathways: Possibilities for the Elementary Music Classroom” and “Percussive Play.” He has published works for children’s choirs in the “Crooked River Choral Project” series and a collection of rounds and partner songs entitled, “A Round My Heart.”
