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.

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.
