Filing Vita and Curriculum Documentation

AOSA requires any person teaching in an AOSA approved teacher education program to have vita and curriculum documentation on fie with the AOSA Education Director. The links to download the vita and curriculum forms are located below. Please be aware of the following:

1. Documentation is accepted only in electronic (digital) format. The downloadable forms are in .Doc (Microsoft Word) format and should be submitted the same way. Hard copy documents sent via US post will not be accepted. Please send all documentation to the AOSA Education Director at: education@aosa.org

2. All teacher educators should submit the Vita form. Do not send resumes or other supporting documentation other than what is asked for on the downloadable Vita document

3. Persons teaching Pedagogy (also called Basic Orff, Ensemble, Basic Orff Pedagogy , Literature) should submit one Pedagogy form for each level of Pedagogy that they wish to be approved to teach. Do not combine the curricula of two or more levels on one form.

4. Persons wishing to be approved to teach Recorder or Movement may submit one form for any or all levels of Recorder and one form for any or all levels of Movement. Beginning January 1, 2010, all teachers who apply to teach movement for the first time in any level must have successfully completed three (3) levels of Orff Schulwerk training at an AOSA approved teacher educator program.

5. Vita and curricula documentation remains valid for 3 years from the year that it is filed. You will be notified when your documentation will need to be updated.

6. Please submit new documentation if you significantly change the content of any submission. Completed documentation is required to be listed in the on-line Approved Teacher Educator Roster which is updated on a rolling basis when new documentation is submitted.

There is no need to send new documentation to replace that which has been submitted less than 3 years ago. Documentation previously submitted on the old forms will be valid for three years. When these documents expire, the new forms should be used to refile.

Please contact the Education Director (education@aosa.org) if you have any questions regarding Vita and Curriculum documentation
