| The Michigan Wolf Trap Professional
Development Workshop Series is designed to offer the early childhood community
opportunities to learn creative
and meaningful arts-based techniques and strategies that are appropriate
for teaching early learners. Join Wolf Trap teaching artists as they demonstrate
how drama, music, movement and puppetry can reinforce early childhood skills
and concepts such as emergent literacy, colors and numbers, while fostering
a sense of self-esteem, engagement and joy of learning. |

National Blues Master Wolf Trap Artist Kenneth Jackson
Learn how to involve preschool students in the basics through blues music
- including call and response, scat singing, riffs and work songs. Basically
Blues focuses on colors, numbers, shapes, sequencing, and other basic
academic skills. Through active participation in different styles of
blues music, children discover their historical, cultural and artistic
features of this music.
National Dance Master Wolf Trap Artist Roberta “Bobbi” Lucas
This engaging workshop is for those who want to incorporate movement and
dance activities into their work with children. Recorded music, whistles,
rhythm instruments and simple props made from scarves, fabric and elastic
bands enable teachers and children to “dance” stories, themes
and lessons that are appropriate for “every body” at whatever
age or ability level.
