PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
|
We use dance as a learning tool to develop an experiential,
standards based course to fit the needs of your faculty. PD sessions focus on how dance engages and supports all students
in learning, based on multiple intelligence theory. We organize material in a cognitively sequential and physically developmental
framework so teachers can easily repeat lessons in their classrooms. All PD workshops include reflection and guidelines for
assessment.
Professional Developments are 90 minutes.
Ongoing weekly classes (PD workshops)
for Yoga or Dance are one hour.
