Task 4b: Special Interest Groups

Since writing my last blog about doing some work experience in local schools, I have spoken to the company and they think they can offer me a job which I'm thrilled about!

Della Estlin has recently created a Dance Teachers Commuinty which I think is going to be a really great place for me and other students who are focused on dance teaching to chat and discuss all of our different ideas.

Since having a Skype session with Paula last week Della also created a specialist Facebook Group for BAPP to make communication faster and more accessible, and I am checking my Facebook account constantly throughout the day so I'll be sure not to miss anything that is posted on there.

Task 4a: Inquiry Questions

In the next coming weeks I will be doing some work experience with a local dance/theatre school whereby I will be going into schools in my local area and helping assist with dance and performance classes,
I believe these questions are relevant to my upcoming work experience:

How do you inspire/motivate your students?

What and who inspires you in your teaching?

What is your favourite part of being a teacher?

What do you expect of your students?

How do you think bringing dance and performing arts into schools can help benefit the students?

Are you on Facebook? How do you manage the teacher/student relationship with your students while on social media sites?
