After our Skype call on Saturday, I was determined to make this week count. And in a flash its nearly over. Having read through the handbook for Module 2, I have spent some time mulling over possible Inquiry subjects and reflecting on how the last term went.
As a dance teacher, looking to transition into primary education I am initially drawn to developing an injury plan that will support me in my next step. Expanding my current knowledge of teaching styles, understanding on motivation and explore discussions on discipline. However, I fear there may be many Ethical Considerations as I will possibly want to observe lessons and watch other teachers styles etc and this may be difficult with minors. I may also adjust how I teach to see if it has an effect on my students, which may be Ethically incorrect. I am still interested in a literature review of these subjects but may have to discuss a possible inquiry with my supervisor.
I am also interested in the career guidance and progression available to dancers, I have a network of dance associates from the past and present so am already thinking of ways I could interview them. However, I'm not sure how much 'Theory ' is on this subject and if I may be making it difficult for myself.
I feel that some of the discourses I mapped out in Module 1 are very big questions, such as body image and suitability of material and music found in the media for young audiences, I will wait to hear my feedback and then maybe break these down and make them more relevant to me and see if anything emerges that is Inquiry worthy.
I have set myself little goals this term, such as keeping on top of my reflection journal, making sure I manage my time efficiently and starting to get things down on paper sooner rather than later giving me more time to see what I might be missing. I'm also looking forward to re-connecting with everyone through our blogs, in order to share thoughts and ideas.
In order to Find My Focus in general, I am a list writer, specifically with coloured pens and timelines.
