Module 3...


we are a couple of week now into module 3... honestly I'm can't wait to get stuck into it.
From my feedback I have decided to find more research of literature to help develop my professional practice and how I can make a difference. I will be blogging findings I find on the way of a way to keep track of literature and information.

Look out for them in the next following days.

Task 3a: Current Networks What are the current and different ways (tools) that you have, or do, engage your professional network? A main professional network I have been using is social media such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs. As its now a much stronger form of networking to connect with people as now they have group pages forming in certain professions. For example I am in a group called "Dancers & Dance Teachers" "ISTD Dance teachers" and others. This is where members of the group can ask each other questions relating to dance and also to share ideas, music, lesson plans, talk about experiences you have had and be connected with other dance teachers. Also Job vacancies often get posted if a dance school is looking for a new teacher or some company is looking for dancers. These groups are really beneficial as I am always connected with up coming events and opportunities for me and my students.  What are the established (and different) ways that...

Integrating  arts at an early stage. Even though my inquiry is looking at dance in primary school ages and how dance is incorporated in to the classroom and teaches experiences with this. The Washington Post wrote an article about a kindergarten teacher "using theater and dance to teach math and it's working..." very interesting. Melissa Richardson a drama teacher was sent from the wolf trap institute to collaborate with kindergarten teacher, Carol Hunt to encourage students in her class using arts integration.

How integrating arts int other subjects make learning come alive. This piece of literature talks about how art had been recognized as an important part of a well-rounded education, but when it comes down to setting budgets priorities, arts rarely rise to the top. Some schools cut dance and arts out but some are weaving arts into everything they do. This article talk a lot about the " Integrated Arts Academy (IAA)" which is a school and association purely concentrating on arts not being a second thought " Instead, artistic learning goals are held up as equals to academic standards and teachers work hard to design lessons that highlight content through art."  Here is a link to a blog of IAA with a video posted on September 9th 2015 showing thier students talking about learning through arts.
