Sharpening Your Organizational Skills to Increase Classroom Productivity

Discover strategies to sharpen your organizational skills in order for you to do the work of teaching your musical group more efficiently. This course covers essential skills that are needed outside the classroom in order to “get things done” in an efficient manner. Topics include planning, setting goals, developing relationships with stakeholders, understanding your budget processes, recruiting and marketing your program, traveling with your group, and more responsibilities as you become a fine arts department or head director. Designed to be practical to your situation, students will participate in a weekly group discussion, complete answers to topic questions, submit examples needed for your current situation, and develop plans for future growth.
