Get students talking out conflicts and singing in unity with assembly programs and workshops presented by Paulette Meier

Classroom based workshops can be customized to address particular skills/issues/concepts you would like to raise with your students. (Go to the pages for Song Descriptions and Ideas for Teachers to see possibilities.)  Here are two sample programs:

I. LessonSongs and Activities for Peacemaking

An interactive performance or workshop that combines singing and signing (ASL), while exploring the concepts and skills needed to build and maintain positive relationships. Based on her original, musically diverse songs and her experience teaching conflict resolution and social skills, Paulette Meier addresses a variety of topics—Conflict Resolution, Dealing with Anger, Good Listening, Affirmations vs. Put Downs, etc.

Recommended Ages: Grades 1-8

II. LessonSongs and Activities for Inclusion & Understanding

Students will explore—through musically diverse songs and activities—such topics as diversity, self-esteem, gender bias, mutual respect, peer pressure and competition around such things as clothing. Paulette Meier individualizes her sessions to the particular issues facing students in your school. Tackling serious issues can be fun with sing-alongs and songs ranging in style from gospel and reggae to blues and hip hop!
