What is BA Productions Network all about?
|
Posted By: Bernie Brooks on June 22, 2008 What if there was a program out there that could transform lives simply by combining education with music? Well, now there is! BA Productions Network is a one-of-a-kind organization that has designed specialized programs that link these elements together in order to improve upon and add to our educational system. What is one thing that ties all human beings together? Music! We are exposed to music every day of our lives, whether we realize it or not. (Think about the last commercial you saw, or the last person with an iPod you walked by.) BA’s goal is to harness the power of music—combined with traditional academic skills, creativity, and designed performances—and put it to use in an educational environment. BA’s programs use alternative teaching methods that will enhance a teacher’s existing curriculum. What do you remember most about elementary school? Recess? The cafeteria? Teacher’s lectures? Standardized tests? The latter two probably weren’t the things you most looked forward to. Why? Everyone doesn’t learn in the same way. Many students are still learning by rote methods. In other words, they receive the information that they need from a teacher, memorize it and regurgitate it on a test, then forget it. They aren’t really seeing how to use and apply the information they are given. Many students actually learn best through bodily movement and hands-on activities (which is more fun anyway!). BA’s programs aim to reach these types of students, while making learning fun and engaging. Wouldn’t it be great to be excited to learn and apply knowledge every day? If the “No Child Left Behind” policies aren’t working, isn’t it time to look for other options? BA’s programs offer schools and teachers an alternative way to get students involved and engaged. The programs are designed to use music and real life experiences to promote critical thinking, organization of thought, and proper application of resources and tools. So, this all sounds good, you may be thinking. But, where’s the proof? We know it takes more than fancy words to convince people. BA backs up its programs by offering quantitative (comparisons of before and after test scores, grades, and other statistics) and qualitative (observations, journaling, videotaping, interviews, investigative research) data to evaluate the learning process. Ultimately, BA’s programs combine education and music to bring communities together and work to improve students’ test scores, grades, behaviors, relationships, and overall performance. So, are you sold on it? Do you live in or around Chicago and want to see how BA’s programs can work in your school? Or, do you live outside of Illinois, but still want to see what BA can do for you? Let us know what you think! All comments and questions are welcome. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
