Suzuki Teacher Training: Every Child Can!
Every Child Can! is an introductory course on the Suzuki philosophy and its application to education.
For parents, teachers, prospective teachers and others, this course provides an inspiring, in-depth look at the Suzuki approach to teaching and learning.
ECC! includes an introduction to learning styles, history of the development of Suzuki education, the role of parents, the importance of Suzuki pedagogical training, and an overview of the Suzuki Association of the Americas' role in supporting teachers and parents.
Developed by violinist and pedagogue Shinichi Suzuki in 1945, the Suzuki Method has been one of Japan’s most successful exports. Designed specifically to meet the needs of very young learners, it capitalizes on small children’s natural aptitude for language acquisition by facilitating the same process with music.
Over the 8 hours the class took, we learned some basics of the Suzuki Method include:
Mother tongue method - Emulate language learning
Educating a beautiful heart
Nurturing the whole student
