SUMMARY:Teacher Tuesdays Presents: Teaching Buddy Holly
DESCRIPTION:Teacher Tuesdays is a new monthly professional development series designed to engage and inspire educators through the lens of American music and its cultural impact. Held once per month\, each session will explore a different theme—ranging from history and social movements to songwriting\, identity\, and interdisciplinary teaching strategies—while providing participants with practical tools they can bring back to their classrooms. Programs will feature guest speakers\, behind-the-scenes access to exhibitions and collections\, and opportunities for collaboration with fellow educators. Participants will receive a certificate for 2 hours of professional development\, making Teacher Tuesdays both a meaningful and rewarding way to connect classroom learning with the power of music.
