Every Child Can!
Every Child Can!© (ECC) is an introduction to Dr. Suzuki’s philosophy and its application to Suzuki education. This course is for parents, teachers, prospective teachers, and others. For teachers, ECC serves as the first-course requirement in the Suzuki Association of the Americas’ Teacher Development Program.
This course provides an inspiring, in-depth look at the Suzuki approach to teaching and learning. In addition to exploring the elements of the Suzuki approach and its far-reaching goals, it includes an introduction to learning styles, history of the development of Suzuki education, the role of parents, the importance of Suzuki pedagogical training, and an overview of the SAA’s role in supporting teachers and parents.
ECC includes video materials, SAA-developed course content and provides each participant with useful reference materials (manuals) for later study.
