Behavioral Cirriculum

 Beliefs


My belief about class/teaching is that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and that all students should be equal in they're baseline of success and given enough attention to succeed.


Class at a Glance


Our class will be a setting where students can feel comfortable enough to fail and grow. They will feel comfortable learning whether it comes easy or is more difficult for them.


Class Procedure


Respect to ones self, other students, and the teacher will be enforced to allow everyone to enjoy the class and be successful.

Unit Plan

Unit Topic: expressing emotion through movement 1. We can have the children make a movement that represents a certain emotion we tell them.  2. Each day of the week can be dedicated to a different emotion: happy, sad, angry, excited, suprised, nervous.  3. The students will have to create a dance in groups that conveys an emotion they choose, and the rest of the class would have to guess what emotion they are trying to portray.  The easiest skill would be how to express emotion through facial expressions, and expressing through their body movement would be harder. It also might be easier to convey happiness than suprised for example.

Teaching Philosophy Statement

 I believe in the power of education to shape individuals and societies. My teaching philosophy revolves around connection, empowerment, and lifelong learning. I strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where students feel valued, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential. Students should feel safe and comfortable in their bodies to be able to use them in the form of art and expression for dance. Children should feel safe to fall and fail and discover and develop their motor skills and get better at the body/self-awareness. I teach by employing different activities that allow the students to learn how to control their bodies, learn how to memorize steps, and learn how to interact with their peers. I measure my success through how a student feels at the end of a class and their attitude towards it.

Visual Thinking Strategies

 Observing art is important as a viewer because it is able to give a new perspective on all sorts of ideas. It can generate new ideas and appreciations of dance and art and the ideas they are able to produce. Dance and art allow the viewer to have their own interpretation of what's being shown. It allows viewers to delve into a rich tapestry of meaning, criticism, aesthetics, history, and socio-political implications.
