Become a Fearless Educator Radio Contributor: Create Songs That Spark Curiosity and Joy
Music has the power to transform classroom culture, spark curiosity, and restore joy in teaching—yet many educators believe songwriting is only for “musicians.” This interactive session introduces Fearless Educator Radio, a growing playlist of educator-created songs, and invites participants to become contributors.
Participants will experience the creative process of using AI as a collaborative partner to write original educational songs. Through live demonstration and hands-on practice, educators will learn a simple songwriting framework that makes classroom music accessible to everyone—no musical background required. We’ll explore how songs can reinforce academic concepts, support SEL, build classroom culture, and celebrate the work educators do.
This session empowers teachers to reclaim creativity and share their voice. Attendees will draft song ideas, learn the submission process for Fearless Educator Radio, and leave with tools to continue creating. Select songs may be featured during the conference, modeling student-led learning through adult professional development.
