Movement and Music
Developed by Sue Fletcher
Dear Steve and Barbara,
I’m sharing and celebrating in this email!
I always talk with EC faculty about our professional responsibility to engage in research. This includes engagement in research-based practices, updated journal articles, etc.
During our EC faculty meetings, we often engage in “Teacher Share”, where faculty present new research-based findings they have discovered or have implemented.
Our Music & Movement teacher, Sue Fletcher, has contributed some great items to Shanghai Family Magazine in the past. I’ve encouraged her to contribute, too, to professional educational journals. One step toward this was an invitation for her to share with ISN – International School Network.
Sue’s contribution is via this link: https://bit.ly/3245Mdx. The Important Role of Music and Movement in Early Childhood Learning published by ISN. The advantages of music and movement education and the effects that this can have on early childhood development.
