Every Child Can!

What is the Every Child Can! Course?

Every Child Can!� (ECC) is an introduction to Dr. Suzuki’s philosophy and its application to Suzuki education. For parents, teachers, prospective teachers and others, this course provides an inspiring, in-depth look at the Suzuki approach to teaching and learning.

In addition to exploring the elements of the Suzuki approach and its far-reaching goals, it includes an introduction to learning styles, history of the development of Suzuki education, the role of parents, the importance of Suzuki pedagogical training, and an overview of the SAA’s role in supporting teachers and parents. A fast-paced, engaging and inspiring program, ECC includes video materials and SAA-developed courseware, and provides each participant with useful reference materials (manuals) for later study. For teachers, ECC serves as the first course in the Suzuki Association of the Americas’ Teacher Development Program.

This is a 6-Hour course. You must attend ENTIRE day to obtain credit for the course.
As there is a limited number of participants that can take this course at one time, it allows for more one-on-one time with the facilitator.
Materials have to be ordered from the Suzuki Association of the Americas, so it is imperative that you send in your registration materials and payment on time or early.

Who Can Attend the ECC Course?

The ECC Course is for anyone desiring information about Dr. Shinichi Suzuki and the Suzuki Method. That includes:

Current and potential teachers
Parents looking into the Suzuki Method

How Much is the ECC Course?

The fee for the course is $95.00 which includes all course materials and payment for the facilitator! Payment is due in full at the time of registration. If you do not send in your registration on time, you may not receive the necessary materials from the SAA.

A $20.00 late fee will be added for people who register within 14 days of the class.

Especially for SAU Teachers!!!

If you've already taken your Suzuki training and have completed 1A unit training you may want a refresher course of the Suzuki Philosophy. You can take the ECC class for only $50. It will be registered with the SAA and you'll be inspired all over again about why you are teaching the Suzuki Method!
