Award Title - Task 6c

This task has asked us to provide our Title for our proposal. Looking at our questions for our inquiry to give us an overall title. 

 Based on my questions I have decided to call my proposal the following:

 ' An Inquiry Research Proposal into the dynamics of community dance, it's history and the benefits it entails.' 

 Written Rationale:

 The rationale behind my title is based on community dance as this is such a broad subject I wanted to focus it on the 3 main sections: what is community dance? the history (how has it developed) and the benefits of community dance. I decided to focus my inquiry on community dance as I am currently a community dance practitioner and would like to develop my knowledge on this subject, using my practice and the support I have around me. Currently my work role involves teaching in various locations with a wide range of participants. This includes Dance in the EYFS (early years foundation stage) all the way up to care homes where participants can be 100 years old. Also I teach a huge variety of styles from ballet to contemporary to street to cross-curricular.  Therefore I would like to look more in depth to be able to develop my teaching skills by looking at what other community dance practitioners beliefs and their practices.  I believe this inquiry will benefit me in the future as it covers such a wide range in dance, which I can use throughout my future career development. 
Any thoughts on my award title would be really appreciated. :)

    hey georgie! Just thought I would add my input on this... by the award speciality I believe the task means you choose what you want your professional practice award title to be... for example BA Hons Professional Practice (Dance) - You choose the bracket bit :) I got a bit confused on this task too but forgive me if i'm wrong but I think that's what it means! :) We are all in this together so didn't want to read your blog and not make you aware of what I thought the interpretation of the task is :)
    Hope you dont mind me telling you :) However on a positive note what you have written here is not a waste! You can definitely use that in your proposal or critical reflection! :)

    Adesola shared some great information with me regarding proposal titles though! We will only develop more on a title we have already been working along the lines of! It is only the very end we realise what we are calling our proposal! Took me some understanding too! I was thinking the whole module I needed to set the title of my proposal and I wasnt allowed to change it!! But we definitely are!

    Good Luck with the draft!

Good News!

This is just a quick blog... So today I had a meeting with one of the companies I work for. It was really good, full of so much information and was lovely to see the team altogether as we don't get to do this often. One of my colleagues did a short presentation on 'Phonics' which was fantastic and has lead me to so many new ideas!  But that is not the best of it. Each year they select 4 members of staff to win teacher of the year, and I was one of them! I am so thrilled to be nominated! I nearly cried! It just goes to show, that the harder you work the more you get rewarded. I'm not sure if I'll win as I'm up against some great contenders, but just to be nominated makes me feel so proud!  So that's my good news of today!  Chow Chow

Task 3a: Current Networks

For the next few tasks we will be looking into networking. So the best place to start would be to look at our own networks. I have quite a few different networks, however I haven't wrote them down before so I was looking forward to doing my first map of my network to see how they connect. To network myself I find some of the best ways are through conversations, contacts, web 2.0, events and conferences. Doing these really helps you expand your network.  Ever heard the saying 'it's not what you know, but who you know.' ?  Now this doesn't help everyone but i find the more people you know in this industry the more opportunities you get. I like to get involved with as many projects as I can, even if it's volunteering because that opens you up to meeting more and more people and from there they can introduce you to their contacts. To me networking is a never ending process it will constantly build throughout your career. Below are images of my individual c...

First Week Back!

Hi all,  So summer is officially over, and I think the weather is definitely reminding us of that!  During the summer I had a lot of free time, so I was researching and planning for the year ahead, as well as going along to so many interviews for new job opportunities to help develop my career.  As this was the first week back at university it was time to put my plans to practice. I must admit I have struggled having such a huge gap between modules but I am now feeling ready and replenished to give Module 3 my all!  Let's get going! I am now working in 2 different stage schools, one is definitely more community based. Alongside this I am still working for the same dance company where I teach all ages from 3-100 years old (and that is no exaggeration). They have also offered me office work within their company which is amazing as I can learn what goes on 'behind the scenes' when running your own company. I have also signed up to 2 diffe...
