About the session
All Australian primary school students need access to high quality music
education. To achieve this goal we must better equip our generalist classroom
teachers in the teaching of music.
There is now abundant evidence to show the positive impact that high
quality music education has on student learning and performance.
The National Music Teacher Mentorship Program, aimed at improving the
quality of music teaching in Australian primary classrooms, pairs experienced
music educators with generalist classroom teachers in a mentoring environment.
The Commonwealth Government has provided funding for the Program to be
piloted in a number of state and territories until mid-2017. The Program is
currently being implemented in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia with the
support of their respective departments of education with more states and
territories coming on board in 2016.
The Program supports mentors by providing a two-day Master Class,
attendance at which is a pre-requisite for becoming a mentor in the Program.
During the Master Class mentors gain a good understanding of the fundamentals
of mentoring and share simple strategies, practices and resources for engaging
students in quality music education.
The effectiveness of the Program is being evaluated by the University of
Queensland under the leadership of Professor Margaret Barrett.
