Teaching Through a Developmental Lens: Insights for Suzuki Teachers
Led by Ed Sprunger

Join Suzuki teacher trainer and psychotherapist Ed Sprunger for a thought-provoking session on how understanding child development can transform your teaching. This discussion will highlight the ways typical developmental stages shape practice habits, attention, and motivation—and how teachers can respond with insight and creativity.

Themes will include:

  • How typical developmental stages affect practice, attention, and motivation

  • Ways to understand children who present with perfectionism, anxiety, inattention, and/or defiance

  • Fostering resilience, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation in students

  • Ideas for teacher–parent–student communication that aligns with the Suzuki philosophy

  • Teaching indirectly

With Ed’s unique blend of Suzuki expertise and developmental insight, this session offers practical tools and fresh perspectives to strengthen your teaching and your relationships with students and families.
