The
Texas Folk Music Foundation is hosting its 10th Professional
Development Program for Teachers to be held at the 40th
Annual Kerrville Folk Festival. The Program is FREE to teachers
(holding festival ticket for that day) seeking continuing
education in a unique Texas Hill Country setting. The
Texas Folk Music Foundation was created by festival
volunteers to support songwriter education & development and
is the sponsor of the program bringing songwriters together
with teachers as a way of introduction and to say thanks to
both groups.
Curriculum is designed
to assist teachers in meeting the objectives of Texas Essential
Knowledge Skills (TEKS). Teachers can earn up to 12 HOURS
continuing education credit. Program is accredited by the
State Board for Educator Certification (Course #500546) and
is FREE to anyone holding festival tickets for those days.
Teaches will be issued a certificate on Friday afternoon for CEC's earned.
Based on school schedule challenges,
the Teacher's Program was designed to be a one-day event in
recent years. In 2011, it will tentatively be held Friday,
June 10, 2011 at the festival with a Voice Workshop on June
9, but could be expanded to
multiple days. Please check back for updated information!!
