A culturally inclusive classroom is one where students and teachers can recognise, appreciate and capitalise on diversity so as to improve the overall educational process.
This Teachers’ Guide is a compendium of knowledge in order to help teachers of preprimary and primary schools to integrate music in their teaching procedure and successfully use music as a pedagogical tool for inclusive education.
The final content of the Teacher’s Guide is determined according to the needs of teachers, which will be identified in the Need Analysis Report (PR1).
The Teacher’s Guide content is
-
- simple, easy to understand (even from teachers with no musical education) and
- its chapters will include, basic theoretical knowledge of Music, examples and
- historical facts that indicate the power of music, music’s multicultural impact (as it is the only art that uses non verbal communication),
- strategies and methodological guidelines for teachers on how to integrate music into their daily teaching process,
- good practices and school experiences related with music,
- instruction on how the use the collected material The Digital Activity Archive in the Digital repository PR2, etc.
The added value of this project result is that the Teacher’s Guide will introduce to teachers an innovative educational and pedagogical tool, easy and simple to use, but with great power, which could mobilize them and their students to understand and appreciate each other, have a lot of fun and transform their multicultural class into a harmonic working- together group.
Once teachers realize that using music in their teaching does not presuppose extraordinary knowledge and competencies and that using music does not mean necessary to make extra efforts, in order to accomplish a positive class environment, in terms of inclusive education, they will appreciate music and adopt it in their daily teaching routine.
In terms of transferability, the Teacher’s guide outlines the basic elements that teachers need to integrate music into the learning process and with the presented examples, teachers will be able to improvise and implement their own ideas based on music.
