DNALC instructors stress an
interactive approach linking the process of discovery to
learning and strive to offer cutting -
edge experiences inspired by techniques and tools currently in use by research scientists.
In some ways, what we do in music classes is cutting
edge: Differentiation,
interactive learning, student - generated content, and performance - based and project - based
learning were all standard parts of the music
experience for students long before they were identified by researchers as best practices.
