Two gems from the 2022 MTNA Conference -

“Pet the Lizard” - Calming our Brain in Performance, Teaching and Life – Barbara Fast, NCTM

Biologically our brain, sometimes called the lizard brain, is hardwired to be fearful and alert. Easy-to-implement techniques for teachers and students to calm our brain, called “Pet the Lizard” will be shared.

Choose Your Words: Using Descriptive Language to Guide, Include and Empower Our Students – Pamela Pike, NCTM

Teachers’ word choices can create democratic, empowering and inclusive learning environments for all students. We'll explore the impact that words have upon student learning, listening, autonomy and how our words help to create musically engaging spaces.
