Tonight in my "Professional Issues in Dance Education" we worked on making sense of our main concepts in our vision statements which are formulating our curriculum proposals. During the summer and in the fall we began thinking about our curriculum and now we are actually pulling out what our main goals are in our curriculum that will help us develop our it. The process of finding our most important goals and concepts came from picking reoccurring and over stressed values, beliefs, and skills that we talked about in our teaching vision. Using those concepts/goals we put them in order of what is most important and developed a paragraph around what our ideal student would be like at the end of our program. We used that paragraph to get really specific with goals that would facilitate our curriculum, put them down on paper, and organized them in a way that would being to develop our curriculum. Then we discussed and defended our choices and ideas.
Hear are two pictures that represent my process for developing a curriculum.
This first picture is taken from a power point presentation I put together this summer about my curricular ideas. Basically the picture represents goal setting as the main idea and then these four dance related subtopics that would be the foundation of my curriculum.
The next photo is my most recent development of the structure of my curriculum which utilizes the four cornerstones from above and goal setting but has developed further. Instead of goal setting being the number one goal of my program life skills has now taken that title and goal setting is a sub-topic. This is just a picture of my brain playing around with my goals.
Can you tell I like pink?
