First campus session of Module 2
Looking back this evening of the first campus session of module 2.
I decided to make a mind map on the words Role Models as I am thinking of using this as one of my enquiry questions and maybe go forward with this I thought I would see what ideas and subjects I could come up with.
I actually at first found it quite difficult on my own as I found it quite easy on campus but I had different minds to bounce off of but once you start to write down your mind can run away with you.
Below is a picture of some of the Ideas I come up with:

Something that really surprised me is that do we have role models as an adult or do we have role models but they turn in to more realistic role models as we grow and age? I think when we are young we look up to more celebrities, siblings and friends they influence us but when we grow we start to look at people that can influence us in a more practical, professional, career development way it could be anyone.
I think this where I see myself focusing my enquiry question on?? I am going to go away tonight and try to look at some of the role models for today's youth see if I can find any literature on this for development.
I will keep you updated!!

TASK 4A
When reviewing the Reader 4 I really didn't know where to go with my set of questions.
Currently I am teaching full time in a secondary school I am teaching Dance Drama and also teaching some PE. I really wanted to focus on developing my career and developing the department within the school and really researching where the Faculty can go and move forward. We have only been a faculty for a term and a half so far I feel that we are stronger subjects this way so I really wanted to focus my questions on this and us all being female teachers.
Also I could go down the route of me being a professional fitness instructor in my spare time where I teach individuals and groups to become fit and well. I also love developing this side of my career and feels this really helps with my school life as I can relieve tension and stress this way.
After giving this much thought I really want to focus on school life and the department. I am going to create a SIG within the department record them with certain questions and develop them through my blog here. Also I would really like to get another SIG group developed within the school with other subject specialists maybe governors and even SLT members I really think this is where I will be able to progress my career, development and understanding where the Performing arts really lye and where my professional practise will be more appreciated within a normal secondary school.
the questions I would like to purpose would be along the lines of:
How do we as women practitioners influence attainment in KS4 and 5 within the performing arts?
Is Performing Arts considered an ethical and important subject with the educational system?
How can we as performing arts practitioners influence and motivate the culture of youth society today?
Can we use cross curricular to encourage Performing Arts within the education system?
Is performing arts taken seriously within our school life?
Do we have a Role Models as adults?
Do children of today have aspirations/role models?
Is admiration a quality we aspire to have? why?
Should we aspire to be like our Role Models?
I am not sure where to go with these questions yet and really need to develop into more detail and really collaborate some of them. I might ask my SIG group a set of questions one week and then we meet again ask them another set of questions. I might get a better understanding of where I am going with this.
Any advise from anyone I would really like your help??
Thanks Geri

SIG - Performing Arts Faculty - TASK 4C
My SIG:
As I am currently working in a school already I thought I would use this to my advantage and use the faculty I work with to create a SIG.
We are all dedicated to our subjects, work really well together but have different thoughts on the questions that I wanted to purpose to them.
Currently their are 4 teachers in the faculty - Myself who teaches Dance and Drama, N. Haynes who is Head of Dance, B. Mason who is acting Head of Faculty and Head of Drama and M. Lewis who is Head of Music. We are all specialists in the areas we teach.
I was stuck on what really to ask the SIG I didn't really want to go the obvious route but was struggling with my questions I come up with 5 decent enquiry questions which I thought I could develop after. I really wanted to cause a debate between the departments.
The questions I proposed to the SIG:
1. How do we as women practitioners influence boys attainment in KS4 and 5 within the performing arts?
2. Is Performing Arts considered an inspirational and important subject with the educational system?
3. How can we as performing arts practitioners influence and motivate the culture of youth society today?
4. Can we use cross curricular to encourage Performing Arts within the education system?
5. Is performing arts taken seriously within our school life?
I purposed these questions to the group by email and asked that they came with some answers already and that I wanted a debate to arise as I know that each of them have completely different views on all areas.
We have a fortnightly Faculty meeting so I asked if I could film them answering these questions.
So I filmed them with these questions and I will update the video and review the outcome from this tomorrow keep watching to find out the verdict!!
It would be great to also start a SIG group on these BLOGS would anyone like to answer the questions I have purposed I would really like to hear your thoughts on these questions.
Hope to hear from you soon
