In this episode, we will meet Hayes, a fascinating man of many talents…and sounds! As a jazz musician and film composer, Hayes understands the power that sound has on humans…and we are not talking music, but sound. Having worked as a teacher with young people in all kinds of capacities since the early 90s, Hayes is now using his love of the art of sound to help teachers in the classroom. He is about to release a new book, Creative Sound Play for Young Learners: A Teacher’s Guide to Enhancing Transition Times, Classroom Communities, SEL, and Executive Function Skills (Routledge, Eye on Education Series, June 6, 2024). Hayes shares with us the 3 primary elements of sound and how they can help you as a teacher during transition times to focus and engage student learning. He also explains how using his techniques help develop student executive function skills, addresses student social emotional learning and is especially powerful when used with students with a language delay, students with special needs and those students on the spectrum.
