Final Flashcards
What are the 10 principles of BCDE
- Present meaningful curriculum (Meaningfull because you can aplpy it to life, other situations)
- Provide an enriched environment (See, say, hear, do)
- Provide meaningful feedback (I see statement)
- Provide opportunities for emotional engagement (End of the day reflection)
- Allow for social interaction
- Present developmentally appropriate curriculum
- Allow students to take charge of their learning
- Provide both novel and repetitious experiences (Synaptic connections in the brain are created through novelty. These new connections are then hardwired through repetition. Too much novelty leads to confusion and frustration; too much repetition leads to boredom)
- Offer a curriculum that is holistic and sequential (you help the child get from point A to B) (Students learn better through studying whole ideas in context than through studying isolated parts. Alternate practicing skills with improvisation and dance making, rather than skills in one lesson and creating dances in another.)
- Provide information about proper nutrition or health (this may not apply to all lessons)
What are the 8 fundamental mouvement paterns (FMP)
- Breath
- Tactile
- Core-distal
- Head-tail
- Upper-lower
- Body side
- Cross lateral
- Vestibular
What are 5 locomotor movements? What is a locomotor movement?
- locomotor move it takes you from one place to another.
- Basic locomotor movements are essential for developing strength and coordination to do more complex movements.
- run, skip, gallop, waltz, leap, jump, roll
What are 5 non-locomotor mouvements and what is it?
- energy action words
- Non-locomotor movements: is movement that moves around the axis of the body instead of the body moving through space.
- bend, twist, stretch, swing, kick, punch
What are combined locomotor movements?
- Waltz Run: 3 runs in 3/4 time- “down up up”- can be introduced to children who can skip
- Ex: skip = step (walk) +hop
What are the dance concepts and elements (LMA)? (elements of at least 2)
- Body: parts, shapes, relationships, balance
- Effort: Press, wring, float
- Time: speed (slow, medium, fast), rhythm (pulse, pattern)
- Space: place, size, level, direction, focus, pathway
- Form: ABA, suite (ABC), recurring themes (ABAB), narrative (story), broken form (random)
What is a growth mindset? Benefits and downfalls
-Belief that most abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point.
• Growth Mindset is Brain-Compatible
o We can increase our neural growth by the actions we take.
o Strategies, Asking Questions, Practicing
What is a fixed mindset? Benefits and downfalls
-Belief that traits like intelligence, talent and creativity are fixed and unchangeable.
• Fixed traits alone impact success and there is no way to change this.
How can you cue the brain?
-“I See” Cueing Strategy:
Provides dancers with specific, identifiable feedback on their effort. Identify key elements that impact and improve a specific skill. Dancers focus their efforts and refinement in meaningful ways.
Serve as meaningful/ brain-compatible praise. Meaningful praise must be specific and genuine.
Observe THEN Comment
Comments should be specific to the process, effort, or creative strategies used.
“Can You/ Try” Cueing Strategy:
• Creates an environment that embraces challenge and risk taking.
• Students are:
• less resistant to change,
• take greater risks,
• identify creativity as a useful process for problem solving,
• more persistent when facing challenges
What is the impact of feedback?
-People’s theories about their own intelligence had a significant impact on their motivation, effort, and approach to challenges.
• More likely to embrace challenges and persist despite failure.
• Cognitive, affective, and behavioral features are linked to one’s beliefs about the malleability of their intelligence.
How can you ensure proper classroom management?
- Having a routine
- ensure active and equal participation (everyone has a ball)
- designate specific area in your room for like downtime
- teacher being socially and emotionally available and keeping in mind body language and get down to their level.
- say what you want to see
- ignore the negative, praise the positive
- be flexible
- be confident
- be firm
- rest and relaxation (get water)
What are the cognitive outcomes of a conceptual dance approach? example
-Increased vocabulary and knowledge through an understanding of the concepts and principles of dance.
• Development of problem solving skills through movement.
• Improved listening skills and ability to follow directions.
• Increased observation skills and improved application and evaluation skills.
What are the social-affective outcomes of a conceptual dance approach? example
-Increased ability to express feelings through movement.
• Ability to express feelings verbally about self, others, and dance.
• Increased self-esteem and body image.
• Development of socialization, trust, collaboration and cooperative skills by working with others.
• Appreciation of peers and other cultures
What are the physical outcomes of a conceptual dance approach? example
-Increased general health and wellness through physical activity. • Development of greater dance skills and movement vocabulary.
• Increased body awareness, control, balance, flexibility, coordination, strength, endurance, and agility.
• Reduction of stress and/or anxiety.
What is creative dance, what can it allow for?
- Creative dance provides positive opportunities for children to become creators, performers and spectators.
- Employ movement as a means of encouraging self expression and self-awareness in children through the revelation of the kinesthetic sense.
- It is a meaningful combination of technique and expression. It is NOT a series of steps or routines.
- The language of creative dance is MOVEMENT.
- The instrument of creative dance is the BODY.
Concept- based movement education model is based on Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), what are the 4 categories?
- Body
- Force
- Time
- Space
-they are the building blocks for any kind of dance
What does creative dance teach?
-Awareness of others • Self-Control • Heightened Perception • Relationship to other art forms • Builds self-image and self-direction
What are Sensorimotor Skills
-The Brain receives sensory information through the body and environment through the sensory systems.
• Specific movements produce specific results.
• Brain makes connections between sensory input and motor output.
name and describe 2 reflexes that inform 2 of the fundamental movement patterns.
-Stepping Reflex: Also referred to as the “walking” or “dancing” reflex, this reflex appears at birth and should be fully integrated by 3-4 month. Babies display this reflex when they are held in an upright position, with feet touching a surface, such as the floor or a caregiver’s lap. When a baby’s foot makes contact with the surface it appears to step, one foot and then the other. This reflex sets the groundwork for walking later in life.
- Palmar and Grasp reflexes: The Palmer reflex is present at birth and allows infants to grasp an object with hands or toes and bring it to their mouth. This reflex should be integrated between 2- 3 months. The Grasp reflex allows infants to hold an object tightly for survival and should integrate between 11-12 months. Babies display this reflex when an object is placed in their hand or their hand is stroked. Babies’ fingers will curl around the object in a strong grip. These reflexes support body awareness, sensory integration, fine motor and speed development, and bonding.

What is a formative assessment?
Based on doing, assesses multiple types of learning: analysis, Application of knowledge, synthesis of knowledge and self evaluation. Ex: projects, performances, videos, conversations.
What is a summative assessment?
Based on knowing, acceses is one type of learning, Examples fact based tests provincial achievement tests.
Why is it important to use triangulation in our assessments?
Triangulation is a process by which a teacher collects evidence about student learning; this evidence is collected from three different sources.
These sources are conversations, observations, and products (Products refer to the tangible materials, such as tests, tasks or projects, used to assess student learning).
