Course units will include an intensive overview and critical discussion of pedagogical materials and techniques, instruction in syllabus and lecture design, and attention to the development of learning outcomes pertinent to major world problems and effecting positive social change. As time allows, these topics will be addressed in relation to four different course rubrics: the introductory undergraduate world music survey for non-majors, a similar course for music majors, the upper-division regional or area studies music cultures course, and the regional music ensemble. For their final project, students will design an in-depth unit within a larger syllabus template and teach a lecture derived from that unit. While this course may not prepare participants to teach all of the world’s musics, which necessarily requires additional knowledge of content that cannot be included here, the pedagogical techniques learned and ethical and political issues addressed are to varying extent broadly transferable to many classroom lecture teaching situations.
