Discussion

  • Welcome to the Policy ASPA

    February 25th, 2009

    In anticipation to the upcoming SMTE conference in September 2009, we would like to invite all interested in submitting contributing research on policy thinking, practice and development.  We would like to develop a critical mass for the discussion of policy studies in music education and its impact in the development of teacher education.
    This site will also serve as a depository of information about policy issues in music education and SMTE.  Documents of all kinds will be assembled and shared not only as a resource site, but also in preparation to the upcoming conference.

    If you are interested in contributing please contact the Policy ASPA facilitator Patrick Schmidt at pschmidt@rider.edu.

    We welcome your participation!
