5B - Policies and Ethics in my Workplace.

 After speaking to my boss in my workplace she just had the genetic policies and ethics which i wrote down from my first thought to this in Task 5A. So when researching into it again I wanted to develop my knowledge even more. So I asked around some Facebook groups such as "dancers and dance teachers" "Dance Teachers Forum" (which I joined up to during module 1 whilst trying to develop my networking skills) asking questions such as what they expected from their teachers and what policies and ethics they expect to not just from their staff and teachers but from parent and students to. Some teachers even have contracts for their teachers for them to agree to their policies but for my work place I didn't have a contract but I already act in a professional way which obey to the policies and ethics in my work place.

 Here is a spider diagram showing what I found (Shock)

That's whats is expected for being a dance teacher in a private dance school. Here is a link to Gov.uk website stating the policies for a teacher standards with information booklets. As to further my knowledge and profession i would like to eventually teach in a primary school. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teachers-standards 

Feel free to comment of anymore ethics and polices you have found out in your research.

Reflecting on my development in my practice. Since starting module two I have become more aware of the role of a teacher in my practice as well as where I would like my career to go in the future. I have a better understanding of the impact they can make on a child's well being and how much of a influence you can be towards them. Some teachers do not understand fully what impact they can have on students with their attitude and approach to teaching. So I begun to question myself how I would handle myself and approach situation with students in my class, the content and methods used with in my class to achieve the most out of my students. Thinking about my inquiry being around children. I researched into ethics around children and found a very interesting read here is a link as I think it will be beneficial for others to.  www.ethicsdance.co.uk/resources/downloads/A-Dancer-is-A-Person.pdf

New Literature.... After days and days of more researching I came across a professor Marilyn Berrett and ex-student of BYU, Erika Cravath.  Erika Cravath researched about integrating dance into the classroom for her honors thesis project with Marilyn Berrett being one of her mentors on this journey. Erika has also published a book in 2011 the title being "Creative Dance Integration Lesson Plans by Erika Cravath" It's a guide for teachers to help integrate dance into their lessons also giving example lesson plans at the end of the book.  To find this book here is the link:  https://education.byu.edu/sites/default/files/ARTS/documents/educational_movement.pdf   Also here is a video of Marilyn Berrett and Erika Cravath conducting a workshop to teachers on how they can incorporate dance into the classroom environment.   Link:  https://vimeo.com/20476307

Task 1b: Professional communication technologies Here is my first initial thoughts and ideas to this task. More research and ideas to follow. Web 2.0... Honestly this is the first time I have ever heard of this phrase, it refers to the second generation of web based communities such as social-networking sites like Facebook, twitter, blogs and collaboration sites such as wikis. It also provides an opportunity for the reader to become the creator and for the creator and reader to interact.  How does it impact on my profession as a dance teacher? As a dance teacher myself using web 2.0 helps me keep in touch with up coming news and events from examining boards, potential dance teaching jobs and upcoming performances and festivals. Using web 2.0 also helps me to promote myself as a teacher by uploading pictures and videos of my work. It also provides a extended and easier reach to employees, costumers, partners and suppliers. Whilst at the same time strengthening the ...
