The Summer that Saved My Teaching Career
“Summer Orff courses are immersive, joyful, and genuinely unlike any professional development you’ve experienced before. The days begin with movement — you will clap, stomp, sway, improvise. You will sing. You will play instruments you may have only admired from across a room. You will work alongside music educators from across the country who showed up, just like you, because they love this work and want to love it more.” Tiffany English
The Puzzle .. And the Umbrellas
“Some teachers, who recently earned Orff Schulwerk Certification, write about how completing all three levels of Orff Schulwerk Teacher Education Courses brought together the puzzle pieces that had been missing from their classrooms. The AOSA Professional Development Director explains how experiential, conceptual, and pedagogical components combine with a carefully sequenced curriculum to create the totality of the AOSA Teacher Education Courses.”

Hi Kim! Teaching With Orff has multiple online workshops available. You can watch at your own pace and receive a certificate of completion when you’re done. https://store.teachingwithorff.com/
Im finding it very difficult to get my Level 4 certificate. It is almost never offered and often cancelled. Will you run a Level 4 any time?
Regards,
Jane
