Janine Slaga

Janine is passionate about inquiry-based, child-centered teaching and social justice. Most of all, she is deeply committed to decolonizing modern music education and teaching her students and colleagues about the diverse musics the world has to offer. Janine has been teaching choral, instrumental, and general music in international schools for over 20 years, but she continues to learn more every day. Janine currently leads a team of six elementary music educators and serves as her school’s DEIJ Lead. She has extensive experience in curriculum development, inquiry, and concept-based teaching and learning. She shares a wide range of teaching tips, strategies, and reflections on her blog at JaninesMusicRoom.com.
