Narrative Assessment - iExplore Dance


Learner: Amy, Deesha, Jennings, Taj   Learning Coach: Talia Morgan   Date: 10 Mar 2016
Learning Area: iExplore - Dance
Learning Observed
In iExplore the learners have been invited to dance with the learning coach. I had the privilege of sharing these explorations with Amy, Deesha, Jennings and Taj. These learners were very engaged and enthused. Not only did they give their dancing heaps of energy and feeling, but they also encouraged others to join in and were singing a long with the music. These learners kept a positive attitude, never complaining at others song choices. These learners were able to just let go and enjoy the music and dance. These learners tried really hard to copy the movies from the directional video and learning coach.
Evidence of learning
Amy, Deesha, Jennings and Taj gave all their energy and enthusiasm in iExplore - Dance. They never gave up and continued to keep a positive attitude. I wonder if they can teach us a dance?
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Amy, Deesha, Jennings and Taj are developing their Capabilities in iExplore (dance). These learners were able to encourage others to join in (Relating to others). They were also happy to sing and dance a long to any song that was being played, even if it wasn’t a song they knew or particularly liked (Participating and Contributing). They were showing extreme motivation and enthusiasm during the whole of the iExplore time. Amy, Deesha, Jennings and Taj were able to watch a video with a tutorial dance and the learning coach demonstrating up the front and accurately repeat it (Thinking). They were able to dance in their own space without interrupting others, but interacting with others appropriately and positively (Relating to Others).
Next Learning Steps
  • Continue to show this enthusiasm and connected attitude in future iExplore sessions.
  • Encourage to begin creating their own moves and movement sequences
  • Share this learning with home
