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??
