Lecturer Accreditation
An Australian Kodály Certificate (AKC) Lecturer leads or facilitates modules towards an Australian Kodály Award and/or Certificate including Musicianship, Pedagogy, Materials, Practicum, Conducting and Ensemble. They are responsible for ensuring learning experiences are delivered and assessed effectively, and for providing constructive feedback to participants in order to develop their skills and understanding in Kodály-inspired music education. It is expected that AKC Lecturers have at least completed the AKC or equivalent.
