Publisher's Synopsis
As technology has advanced so has the ability to better diagnose and treat disabilities in children. This has led to better and more effective therapeutic protocols which has led to increased populations of special needs as well as classified students in public schools. This combined with rises in childhood depression and anxiety as well as childhood poverty has meant more developmentally, socially, and emotionally diverse students. Suddenly, the job of teaching, has become more creative and dynamic. This same technological advance has also shown how music not only effects the brain, but is an untapped resource regarding the education of our kids.The COVID-19 pandemic shed light on how dynamic teachers need to be⏤but are they being trained to be the creative professionals everyone expects? Patrick Cerria is a Dalcroze Eurhythmics teacher who has spent more than fifteen years teaching and working with varied student populations. In Finding the Flow he examines these diverse learners and how we can improve our approach to educating our student populations. Through personal anecdotes as well as research, Finding the Flow demonstrates how a dynamic and creative system like Dalcroze Eurhythmics can help teachers, therapists, and administrators better serve the developmentally, socially, and emotionally diverse students they must now educate.
