Toward Something More: Empowering ELLs with Monica Guido

Monica Guido joins us on #MusicEdLove to share her suggestions for raising the bar, engaging ELLs, and stirring up the seating. Monica is also a contributor for the upcoming book “The Music Teacher’s Guide to Engaging English Language Learners” and she has so much experience to share with you! I absolutely LOVED speaking with Monica and I know you will enjoy learning about her approaches and strategies.
