Your Turn

Next Level Pedagogy for Dance Teacher Education Facilitators

Are you eager to share your teaching methods with others? Are you currently leading professional development or eager to start? Are you tired of having to figure everything out yourself? Don’t miss this opportunity to take your professional practice to the next level!

Your Turn: Next Level Pedagogy for Dance Teacher Education Facilitators is an immersive experience in dance pedagogy leadership. Its inquiry-based design supports experienced dance teachers and teaching artists in creating evidenced-based professional development for other dance educators.

Philosophical Approach & Course Content

Luna Dance Institute has worked with dance educators since 1994, and provided leadership development to dance teacher educators through two year-long projects in 2013 and 2015. The goal of professional development from a teacher education perspective is not to replicate a specific teaching method, but rather to learn from expert practitioners to develop experiences that allow all learners to thrive in creativity and understanding of themselves through dance. The purpose of the Your Turn project is to provide theory-to-practice pedagogy to future dance education leaders. In this workshop, you will read, talk, speak, practice, lead, reflect, teach, give and receive feedback. The course content includes the following:

Learning Theories & Instructional Practices

Constructivism

Human Development

Cognition

Motivation

Universal Design for Learning

Syllabus Development

Creating an Arc of Learning

Embedded Assessment

Backward Design

Critical & Personal Pedagogy

Reflective Practice

Underlying theories

Evidence-based practice
