Professional Development Workshops for K-12 Educators

Learn how you can make learning come alive for your students through the power of rock and roll!


Teachers Rock is a FREE professional development workshop series for K-12 level educators interested in integrating popular music into their own classroom curriculum.

Sessions spotlight a specific grade band or content area by exploring great moments in rock and roll history and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees who made those moments happen.  Learn appropriate arts-integrated activities and instructional methods from leading educators who have seen success using the sounds and stories of rock in their own teaching and receive featured lessons and resources to take back to your own classroom.   Workshops are held on-site at the Rock Hall.  Documentation of participation is available at the close of each session.

"Talk to Me": A Cleveland Music Oral History Project for K-12 Students

Learn how your students can connect with Cleveland’s African-American musical legacy through oral history. 

This workshop launches a special year-long oral history project connected with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s annual Black History Month celebration.  The project allows K-12 students to learn first-hand from members of their own community and develop essential research, writing, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills while they deepen their understanding of Cleveland’s unique and varied African-American musical culture.  Find out how you can engage your classroom in this learning opportunity and collect resources and strategies that can help make your students’ projects a success!

Teachers Rock Highlights



“The follow up activities look great! I can’t wait to use the lesson plan on acoustics. I’ve been dying to find a way to sneak in Robert Moog and the development of the synthesizer. We especially liked the demonstration of the recording software”
