Connected Arts Networks (CAN) Project NAfME Teacher Leaders

After an extensive application, review, and interview process, NAfME selected a diverse group of teacher leaders for the CAN grant project. The teacher leaders are from a wide variety of states throughout the US; represent urban, suburban, and rural areas; work at the elementary, middle, and high school levels; and have band, chorus, general music, and orchestra backgrounds.  These teacher leaders are now part of their own professional learning community. They are preparing to lead their own PLCs starting in January 2024. Two additional music educator Teacher Leaders from New York City, who are already leading PLCs at the local level in New York City, are also working with NAfME’s group of teacher leaders.
