Presented By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Department of Music Education Carrigan Lecture: Dr. Connie McKoy

Is Being Responsive Enough? Implications of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy for Music Education

Asset pedagogies, known variously as culturally relevant pedagogy, culturally responsive pedagogy and culturally responsive teaching, have become a prominent facet of the curricular content of teacher preparation programs. Recently, education researcher Django Paris has suggested that responding to culture is not sufficient, arguing that teacher education must find ways for pre- and in-service teachers to value and maintain their students’ range of cultural practices, including dominant language, literacies, and other cultural ways of knowing and being. In this presentation, Connie McKoy will: (1) compare and contrast culturally sustaining pedagogy as an outgrowth of earlier research in the area of asset pedagogies and (2) explore the implications of culturally sustaining pedagogy for addressing issues of equity in music education.

Connie McKoy is Marion Stedman Covington Distinguished Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the School of Music at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Dr. McKoy’s research focuses on music teachers’ cross-cultural competence, and culturally responsive teaching in music. Her co-authored book Culturally Responsive Teaching in Music Education: From Understanding to Application, is in its second edition. She is a Past President of the North Carolina Music Educators Association and Past Chair of the Society for Music Teacher Education.
