Teaching Beyond Control: Building Trust, Belonging, and Brilliance
Contrary to belief, successful classroom management isn’t about control — it’s about cultivating a welcoming and safe space where students feel valued and understood as individuals. When meaningful relationships are at the heart of your teaching, the learning begins to flow naturally. This workshop will explore concepts and practical tactics for educators to shift from managing behavior to nurturing the potential in every student.

Artist(s)

Stephanie A. Muñoz was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and moved to Boston in 2012 to pursue graduate studies in saxophone performance. A proud alumna of the New England Conservatory (’15 MM, ’17 GD), she also holds a Bachelor of Music Education (K–12) from New Mexico State University (2012).

Stephanie quickly became active in Boston’s educational and artistic communities, serving as a teaching fellow at NEC and a teaching artist with organizations such as Young Audiences of Massachusetts and The Metropolitan Opera and running her own private lesson studio. She is currently in her eighth year as a music educator at The Margarita Muñiz Academy in Jamaica Plain.

Her Mexican heritage and bilingualism have become two of her greatest strengths, allowing her to build authentic connections and serve her community with cultural pride and empathy. In addition to her teaching, Stephanie is the founder of the school’s steel pan and Latin percussion ensemble, a program she launched three years ago.
