“Communicating Honor for Diversity” – Rochelle Agnew Selected

Congratulations to Rochelle Agnew, Violin Faculty at Center for Young Musicians! Her application was chosen from candidates around the world for the new course “Communicating Honor for Diversity”, which aims to improve the communication skills of each participant, where ever and with whom ever that person ventures. The Suzuki Association of the Americans have partnered with Nwandi Lawson of The Virtues Collective to create this opportunity:

“The goal is to honor and show great respect for yourself and other people and for the values and rules you live by. The ‘Communicating Honor for Diversity’ program includes four instructional sessions (12 hours) of training and practice with strategies for teacher-family music education collaborations that celebrate diverse engagements and celebrate participation by all races, ethnicities, identities, religions, and cultures. Participants will master five communication strategies, become more familiar with the contributions of the diverse people who reside in the Americas, and develop action plans to increase meaningful diversity in their own work.”

In the application Rochelle was tasked to articulate her “commitment to the instructional process, confidence to try new approaches, and generosity in sharing these principles and actions with others in a ‘train-the-trainer’ model.” About her acceptance Rochelle says, “I’m grateful and excited to learn!”
