Students' Work
Allie’s Action Plan
Our Class at a Glance:
I believe that dance should be a student's opportunity to
emotionally connect with his or her environment. Dance functions as a way for a person to
understand deeper feelings and train the mind to cope with them.
Our Rule:
Respect yourself, your peers, and your teacher
Our Class Procedures:
1. Entering the room: Enter quietly and politely; remove your hat if you're wearing one; don't interrupt other students.
2. Participating in group lessons: Do not bring anything with you unless I ask you to; politely find a place to sit where you can do your best learning; sit flat, not on your knees; listen carefully for new information; raise your hand to speak; do not speak when someone else is speaking.
3. Obtaining help with assignments: Quietly ask the students near you for help with directions if you need it but wait for me to finish talking; if you are working alone, raise your hand to get help from me.
4. What to do with unfinished work: If we don’t finish learning a new combination, we will finish it as a warm-up for our next class!
5. When and how to use the restroom: If I am not teaching the whole group, stand by the classroom door with your hand raised; if I say "no," wait for a better class time to go; if I nod, leave the room quietly; do not play in the restroom; return to class promptly.
6. When and how to use the drinking fountain or sink: When I am not teaching the whole group, you may get a drink; you may bring your water bottle if it is empty.
7. Being a classroom helper: The studio could always use some extra helping hands; if you see trash, make sure to pick it up; if you see a friend struggling, you can help them or call me over for guidance. These are just a few examples.
- Signals for attention: When I need your attention, I will ring the chimes (or sound the rain stick, open the music box, etc.); as soon as you hear the signal, stop what you are doing, look at me, and listen for directions.
9. Helping other students: In a cooperative classroom, it is good to help one another; if someone needs help with directions, help him or her if you are able; if someone needs help with understanding, tell him or her to ask me for help; never put down another student who asks for help.
- What to do during free time: If we have down time, make sure to utilize your break effectively; you may get water, stretch, or mark anything you are struggling with. Feel free to come to me with any questions or concerns.
Schedule: Wednesday 5-6:30 pm
5-5:15 pm: The students arrive and enter the studio dressed and ready to go. We will spend 10 to 15 minutes allowing them to stretch individually and use the bathroom after having to commute to class.
5:15-5:30 pm: The teacher will lead the class in stretches.
5:30-5:35 pm: The students will be given a 5-minute water break before starting to learn a new combination.
5:35-5:40 pm: The students will listen to the teacher’s music selection and carefully watch and mark as the teacher performs the combination.
5:40-6:00 pm: The students will learn the combination piece by piece, adding on a new movement to what they already learned.
6:00-6:05 pm: The students will be given a 5-minute water break before wrapping up and performing the combination in its entirety.
6:05-6:20 pm: The students will perform the entire combination with and without the teacher.
6:20-6:25 pm: The teacher will guide the students in a cool down.
6:25-6:30 pm: The teacher
will remain with the students until each one is properly picked up by a parent
or guardian.
Positive Consequences:
*Free and frequent: I will always
offer a smile, fist bump, or high five.
My class as a whole or individual students will be verbally recognized
when appropriate.
*Intermittent: Saving time for a dance-related game, like freeze dance, if a particularly challenging class runs smoothly.
*Strong
and long term: I will award a student of the month for their behavior and hard
work. He or she will be recognized in
front of the class
Correcting Behaviors:
Behavior crisis plan:
1. Alert another teacher working in a studio that I will be sending my students in and to have a game prepared to combine the classes.
2. Send the rest of the class to another room with the teacher I notified.
3. If possible, help the student in crisis to reestablish self-control.
4. Bring the rest of the students back to class once the crisis has been addressed.
5. Call home. If not possible, send the student home with a note warning the parent or guardian of the extreme behavior. It would be ideal to speak to the parent or guardian picking up the student in-person.
6. If the offense is repeated, schedule a meeting with the parent or guardian along with the student to go over a behavior contract that the student must sign and maintain. Make sure to go over any consequences if the contract should be broken.
