| From Bev Peterson, Instructor for "Using the Orff Process", a one-hour graduate college credit class from Augustana. The enrollment fees are $40.00 to Augustana and $50.00 to RCAS (total $90.00). Membership in the BHAOSA is required when taking the course for credit. Membership dues are $25.00 annually. Requirements are that each enrollee attend all the workshop sessions and prepare a short written paper from choices furnished by the instructor. One absence is allowed but will require make-up work to be done. This class may also be taken for State recertification at the cost of $35.00. This is the last year that recertification will be offered as it presently stands. Since this class is one of the few offered for elementary music teachers is important that we keep it going with strong enrollment numbers. Just think , if you take this class for credit each year for five years , you will only need one more one hour class for renewal and five of your hours will be in the field that you are teaching. So I hope that you will continue to support a class that brings you national clinicians; networking with fellow elementary music teachers; and the chance to become acquainted with some of the most creative, talented, innovative and dedicated professionals in education. Registration will take place at the first meeting, September 12, 2009 at Meadowbrook School. Please come early to complete your registration before the meeting begins. Hoping to see you in September as we get "Orff to a Great Start." |
