Overview

Toward Equity in School Music offers new ways for collegiate music education programs to help music teachers develop skills, knowledge, and dispositions to honor the needs of the different learners in PK-12 schools. Written by twenty-five leading voices in equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging (EIJB) in music teacher education, it provides practical examples of successful activities, experiences, and course structures music teacher educators employ to promote preservice and in-service music teachers' ability to conceptualize and enact EIJB in music education. With a focus on social justice work and human identities, the diverse collection of authors from across the United States recount practices they have used within undergraduate and graduate coursework and across music education programs to help music teachers develop more inclusive praxes. Every chapter includes cases and examples grounded in real-life experiences within an educational context and descriptions of challenges and aspirations. Among the first books to address teacher preparation to enact EIJB in tertiary music education programs, Toward Equity in School Music provides actionable strategies and ideas for all music teacher educators.
