Full Description
Take your K-12 dance program to the next level.
Core Teaching Practices for Dance Education With HKPropel Access is a practical guide for dance educators that covers the basics of running a successful dance program and addressing challenges that are not always solvable by great lesson plans alone.
Teaching dance in a K-12 public school setting comes with its own unique dilemmas and opportunities. Core Teaching Practices for Dance Education is designed to support dance educators—whether they are first-year teachers looking for guidance on building a dance program or experienced teachers from the independent sector making the transition to a K-12 program.
Key features of the text include these:
Real-world examples of challenges faced by educators in the field
Printable and editable online resources designed to help implement teaching practices
Chapter-opening vignettes and chapter-ending summaries that help readers relate to the content
Author Emily Enloe has over a decade of experience in public education and offers valuable insights into the various aspects of becoming a successful dance educator. She covers issues, ideas, scenarios, and details that are often overlooked or oversimplified in teacher preparation programs.
The core practices are divided into five chapters, covering the dance space, the teacher, the dancers, the curriculum, and the performance. Turn to the advice of veteran educators and provide students with the best dance education possible with the help of Core Teaching Practices for Dance Education.
