Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul will say thank you to hard-working teachers across North America with a landmark headline tour supporting TeachRock, the Rock and Roll Forever Foundation’s national initiative to bring music curriculum into schools across the country. The “Soulfire TeachRock Tour 2018” begins October 18th at The Kirby Center in Wilkes Barre, PA and then continues into December. All shows on sale now.
The “Soulfire Teacher Solidarity Tour 2018” concerts are free for educators of all types (and a guest) – teachers are invited to sign up at teachrock.org/tour. Each show on the tour will also see Little Steven and his TeachRock staff hosting free professional development workshops designed to engage educators with techniques and content through which they can comfortably use music to inspire students, even if they’ve never touched an instrument. In many locations, the workshop will also count towards continuing education hours and license renewal.
The Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul Teacher Appreciation Tour Professional Development Experience will offer a complete Teachrock.org curriculum, including material suitable for K-12 teachers of all disciplines, arts integration techniques, and group activities. In addition, the one-hour workshops will see a personal visit from Little Steven, with attendees also receiving a teacher-only edition “Teacher Appreciation Tour” t-shirt, a certificate of attendance, and tickets for the educator and a guest to that evening’s Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul concert.
“This is a little different than the professional development experience you may be used to,” says Little Steven. “This is a rock ‘n’ roll experience.”
Little Steven unveiled the “Soulfire TeachRock Tour 2018” earlier this week with a personal video announcement, streaming now at the official TeachRock YouTube channel HERE.
