In this episode, we talk to Sam Noyce, a teacher of band, orchestra, choir, and French. He considers himself a lifelong learner who values the knowledge of other teachers, regardless of their discipline and recognizes that effective teaching requires different strategies for different contexts. Sam discusses his approach to culturally sustaining pedagogy, which honors and builds on the cultures, languages, and experiences of students and their communities. He shows how he engages his students in creative and innovative projects that reflect their identities and interests. He credits Amber Tuckness, his band director, for inspiring him to pursue this career. Join us as we listen to Mr. Noise (the Grammy-nominated music educator) talk about how he collaborates with his students to create meaningful content in his classroom.
