A music teacher mentor can shape a future music educator’s future in significant and powerful ways. Learn how to find future music teachers in classrooms at any level and build the tools to mentor these students. Participate in small breakout rooms with other music teachers hoping to contribute to the future of music education as you create your own recruiting and mentoring plan for your students. Craft early teaching experiences for even your elementary students and learn how to transform concerned parents into their child’s biggest advocates! Join us for this highly interactive webinar and prepare your students for an incredible future in the most rewarding of jobs. This is part three of NAfME’s “Building a Legacy” webinar series.
