Plans for returning to in-person learning this fall are ongoing, as we all know. As music educators work with school administration to build the best plan for music students, ILMEA is providing a one-sheet with key takeaways from the most recent ISBE guidance and the updated aerosol study reporting. This way, music educators and administrators have a quick reference sheet as they collaborate on plans fo the fall.
Do you have an exceptional colleague in Music Education? Does your administrator go above and beyond in support of the music program and students at your school? The ILMEA Awards Program supports our efforts to recognize outstanding achievements of peers, those preparing to be music educators, as well as those outside the music education profession.
