Merge Also offers Arts Mentoring Materials
Creativity provides the oxygen we all need for an authentic, vibrant life - it's the expression of a person's authentic self. That's what's needed right now, but it's eluding most people today. Merge can help you change that.
Venturing Together was amazing, for me. It was inspirational and has a huge out-of-the-box focus. Here in our educational system it’s like we’re in a bubble – everyone’s inside a bubble – and what Bill Rossi is doing is outside the box. It’s a huge vision! - Veronica Jenkins, Chester County Family Academy, West Chester, PA
Learn from a Master Teacher
Thanks to a lifetime of experience - not only struggling as a creative learner but figuring out why he'd been put at risk and how to remedy it - Berklee College of Music graduate Bill Rossi is uniquely suited to help you better empower all of your students.
The result of 30 years' experience teaching and refining his approach, Bill Rossi's Venturing Together introduces you to the Rossi Arts Mentoring Approach to learn:
- Exactly why the arts are so effective with challenged students
- How to keep challenged students engaged and growing
- How to create an environment of inclusion
- Why the number of dropouts is on the rise
- What the "burden of learning" is and how to remove it from your teaching
- How teachers deprive students when they only offer a handful of ways to learn
- The truth about learning styles (it's not just linear or global, it's in the process)
- How to accommodate the full range of learning styles through mutli-dimensional teaching
- How to identify what your students really need, and provide it for them
- How to work with challenged "troublemakers" so they willingly join the group in learning
- Why so many teachers are unhappy in their work, and how you can become one of the minority that's not.
As I began my teaching career I quickly saw that I was at risk of becoming just as burned out as so many others, and began to wonder if this wasn’t at least one of the reasons there was so little progress being made in education.
It wasn’t until I started learning Bill Rossi’s mentoring approach and using the Merge evaluation software that I began to find a way out of my disillusionment, and a solid way into connecting with, reaching, and truly teaching my students. Dawn Mehan, Dance Teacher, Philadelphia
