About the Workshop:

In this workshop Julie Corallo and Juanda Marshall will explain the benefits of achieving National Board Certification and how using the Kodály Approach helped them on their journey. Perhaps you are wondering about the process of achieving National Board Certification. You may be looking for ways to increase your salary or teaching opportunities in the future.  Juanda and Julie were certified in December of 2018 and will describe how this voluntary advanced credential can be an advantage to you and your students while taking your instruction to a higher level.

Ms. Corallo and Ms. Marshall will lead participants through songs, games, and engaging activities that will help attendees to understand the requirements for the four components of National Board Certification and the pathways one can take to effectively plan their candidacy.   We invite you to join us as we investigate this worthwhile challenge!
