Right its been a while since ive been able to blog, so here it all goes again.
After the first campus session i realised that i wanted to focus more on "differentiation" within a dance class. I also want to look into teaching children with special needs and and how to plan for this within a dance class.
To summarise Petty (2004) It wasn't till a few years a go that people began to realise that it was not just ability that could be mixed. Teachers are having to cope with a plethora of differences; learning styles age, motivation, prior learning and experience, gender, specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia etc. Consequently the term 'mixed ability' began to replaced by the less vivid term ' differentiation.
This is something I am hope to look into in great detail.
