Here goes nothing!

So having been stressing about sending out my surveys for the past week (yes I am the Queen of anxiety and procrastination!!). I finally plucked up the courage to send them out today. The response has been incredibly overwhelming and it's made me super excited to analyse their responses and see if it fits in with where I stand on using supplementary training. I also can't wait to see if there are any new ideas surrounding this topic that I can try out in my own lessons. 

I feel like my MAPP journey so far hasn't been the easiest and there have been lots of bumps in the road. But I finally feel like it's all coming together. 

I hope everyone's term is going well so far!

    Hi Ellie,

    It is lovely to see that you are feeling excited and empowered. I am just starting Module 2 and having a few light bulb moments of my own.. I would be interested to know more about your project.

      Hi Ben! Thanks for your reply. Its always good to have a lightbulb moment isn't it?! Makes all the stress seem more worthwhile.
      My project is based around how/if other RAD Intermediate Ballet teachers use supplementary to support their student's ballet training. My thoughts of this have come from the supplementary training I carry out when I've seen gaps in my students fitness and technique. It's a minefield but super interesting!
      I hope Module 2 is going well for you so far.

It's nearly done?

The last 12 weeks have been a complete blur, but somehow its over and the portfolio is in?!  It's been a journey, and one that I'm very proud of myself for. I've learnt lots of new things and I've definitely found things out about my field that I didn't think existed.  Supplementary training is a massive topic, so I'm pleased I narrowed it down into looking at it from the perspective of teaching RAD Intermediate Ballet. I know there is still so more to expand on this thought and specifically how it helps exam training. So onwards to my presentation and then its all over ...

I've been MIA ...

 So over the past couple of weeks I've been in an ethics rabbit hole ... I feel like it took me a long time to get my head around all of the different sections and making sure I had everything filled in. But it's done (i think!!). Wishing luck to my fellow Module Twos if you haven't started yet, my motto has definitely been little and often!  Now onto my project plan, I think from doing my ethics form first I have a bit more of an idea of what my project actually is and how I can (hopefully) reach my hypothesis. But, I'm still stuck on being philosophical, after a tutorial with Angela 2 weeks ago I realised I'm being more philosophical than I thought I was being, but it still makes absolutely no sense to me!!  Onwards and upwards.  Hope ebvryone is having a productive yet restful Easter Break :)

Sunday 27/09/20 Skype Discussion (Knowledge, information and learning)

This was the first Sunday Skype discussion that I had attended, being new this term, to the MAPP community. I found it very informative and fascinating listening to everyone's different ideas and perspectives surrounding the topic of 'knowledge information and learning'.  It was discussed that we pass through each step to lead to another, we dissect information, absorb knowledge and embody learning.  Knowledge, information and learning can all come hand in hand, however, they can also be treated as individual factors. It was discussed, that knowledge is not necessarily about the outcome, rather the journey we pass to acquire it. From this, as a group we briefly touched on the philosophical aspects and the nature and theories of learning, a topic which I personally find fascinating. For me, the methods and theories of learning are how we acquire knowledge in a dance setting. The VARK learning styles (visual auditory, read/write and kinaesthetic), when used appropriately and ...
