This inquiry will be conducted within a
mixed gender secondary school which has recently received ‘academy status’ and
is situated within the Runcorn area. The school
has been judged as ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED in 2010. They are a National
Teaching School and a STEM Centre of Excellence.
The investigation will focus on students who
study dance at GCSE level. After conversations with the Arts teachers I will be
targeting individual students who are studying unit 4A of the GCSE
specification, I will be seeking out information on how a real life experience
can act as a form of stimulus and influence or support the choreographic
process. Working with students in this way will provide behaviour management
strategies, enabling the students to channel negative energy into creativity.
This line of inquiry may benefit the
student’s physical and mental development, hopefully raising the quality of
their work through ownership of learning. I hope to develop teaching styles
that can be used in all subjects. This will hopefully raise levels of engagement
which will impact the students overall achievement, befitting not only the
students but the school as a whole.
By conducting this piece of research I hope
to enhance my own professional development as a teacher. This will also have an
impact on fellow colleagues within the arts departments, by raising awareness
to those particular students in need.
