Open Dream Ensemble is devoting this week to teaching artist training. Over the course of the week we examine current issues in education, school culture, classroom management, the theory multiple intelligences, the concept of process, the NC Standard Course of Study, lesson plan format, and teaching curricular goals through the arts (among other things). Tomorrow the cast begins putting some ideas down on paper for their upcoming residencies.
This post is from Rose Shields (the hula dancer in the photo). Rose is a third-year member of Open Dream Ensemble and a dedicated dancer and teaching artist.
Here come the Teaching Artist lesson plans! The creating process of it all is rather exciting; it's actually the typing out of each day's activities, materials, and goals that is most tedious. I love how the games and activities we come up with each year for the residencies are just as much fun (if not more) for us and the teachers as it is for the kids.
