A Consensus Statement Concerning Online Teacher-Training from the ISA Board of Directors – October 2020
‘In-person, individual approaches to training and mentoring teachers are foundational to the Suzuki Method and are an essential component in Suzuki Teacher Development.In current circumstances, ISA supports virtual teacher training as a temporary solution for maintaining teaching programs in the regions.Technology is a powerful tool but cannot replace the essential elements of human connection and live interaction.’
