Description Building on skills developed in Innovative Technologies as Enabling Literacy Strategies for SIME, students will develop a portfolio of resources to teach music in SEN/inclusive educational contexts. Students will create soundscapes, songs, melodies and musical narratives in general tailored to the educational setting of their choice. Through micro-teaching sessions with pupils from co-operating schools, students will gain experience of producing, delivering and teaching a socially inclusive music education programme. The module will culminate in a performance of the newly created musical material, by the children from the co-operating schools. It is envisioned that the development of musical materials for student portfolios will be informed by different learning settings such as the multifarious ethnic and cultural backgrounds of children in Irish national schools, varying socio-economic backgrounds, ESL, SEN, and pupils’ diverse levels of previous musical experience. Differentiated learning will play a key role in the delivery of an effective SIME programme. Students will present the newly created material in a portfolio to include music notation and sound recordings. The portfolio will also include an integrated scheme of music lessons which provide details of how the SIME programme could be delivered in a school. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Learning Outcomes 1. Identify how an effective SIME programme can be delivered to a specific SEN or inclusive education setting. 2. Through an exploration of musical material for varying target audiences, including SEN and inclusive education contexts, and through a process of (collaborative) composition, develop a portfolio of resources for the delivery of an SIME programme. 3. Present the materials in the portfolio in a professional manner including using notation and audio recording software. 4. Develop lesson plans and integrated schemes to illustrate the delivery of an SIME programme. 5. Deliver the SIME programme to visiting pupils from co-operating schools. 6. Reflect on the development of their portfolio by considering how working with pupils in inclusive education contexts has informed their creative process. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Indicative Content and
Learning Activities Indicative ContentThrough a series of workshops, students will learn to perform music from, and compose music inspired by, music from different cultures as well as music resources developed for specific educational needs. Through this, students will collate music education resources relevant for SEN and inclusive education contexts. Through group work, students will also compose new melodies, songs, chants, and musical stories with the aim of producing a 15 minute musical performance with children from identified socially inclusive contexts. Students will present their collated and newly composed material in a portfolio, to include notation, sound recordings, and a series of lesson plans in an integrated scheme. Students in each group will take on various roles such as composing, performing, teaching, producing notation, producing arrangements, producing audio recordings, and developing resources for differentiated learning. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
