Description: This Webinar synthesizes emerging research and classroom experience delivering strategies to develop practice, pedagogy, and policy in teaching dance to students with disabilities. We will move past inclusion basics and include ground-breaking work from disability dance leaders who “put the disability first”, challenging and expanding traditional constructs of dance teaching and artistry.
Attendees will learn how to:
• Attend to wide-ranging abilities of individual students while maintaining or elevating the integrity of the group or class experience.
• Deliver high-level arts learning while building students’ behavioral, cognitive, and social skills capacity.
• Challenge and change the culture of schools and communities that may not recognize the exceptional and essential value of inclusive arts learning.
• Create and achieve specific personal and professional goals to expand the culture of dance learning and artistry.
When: Tuesday August 25, 2015 from 3-4pm EDT
