doudoune moncler Getting The Best Out Of Your Danc |

-Talk to them constantly at first. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Try to bond with them. Rather than putting up a front about you being the dance teacher and needing to discipline them, instead work from the premise that we are all dancers and 'I'm just taller than you'. I know, it sounds ridiculous but if you want to get to their level, here are a few more.
-Adopt a chirpy tone. Kids love high voices, otherwise some of these new cartoons would have never made it to TV. Use your high voice. It [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is something that mother's do naturally with this age group and fathers do as well.
-Bend to their level. Try to make sure there are several time periods where you sit on your knee or do something that requires you to also be on the floor with them. This is another way they bond with you. You are secretly one of them, just taller.
-Effective communication throughout the class means that nobody is left behind. Establish this as a rule. Naturally, you can't do anything about all the people that miss a day or lots of days. But for the students that are always there, this is an old adage that pays off in the long run. Stop here and there and help the struggling student. You'll be glad you did at the end of the session when she or he is equally fabulous.
Imagine. At the age of two, your mom puts you in dance for the first time! This is amazing but scary and though you really like everything going on around you, it is out of your realm of understanding for the moment. To motivate the 2 year old to four year old set, you need to do the following:
-Remember that at this [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] age group, creating fun by handing out stickers or putting them on the floor to find a spot all goes to create motivation.
-Create opportunities for leadership. Do follow-the-leader type of dancing with one student in the leadership role at a time. Try to allow just two leaders per session to maintain a sort of pride for the students.
-For this age group, it is important to establish expectations. If your goal is for everybody to learn the steps for a recital at the end of the session, great. Make sure to convey this to them. I have a friend that says, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] "People Always Rise To Expectations, They Never Fall."
-Show concern and compassion. If your basic needs as a human being are met, you are likely to be motivated.
-Make sure there is a uniting t-shirt that they can wear out in public to show their pride in your dance school.
Motivation is a key point in teaching. How do you motivate your students to attain their best? Teachers understand that without motivation, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you have children that under perform all the time, often in multiple [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] subject areas. As a dance teacher, you as well need to look at this critical theme before the teaching begins.
And remember, motivation is something you create as a teacher. I [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] hope these points will help you to drive student achievement forward.
-Use popular [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] music to motivate them. Anytime, I turn on the theme song from Arthur or Bear In The Big Blue House, they just dance [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and dance and dance.
-Make sure that you have structure. At this point, they are used to school. Ask for their attention and remind them with their names when they are not paying attention. The thought that they miss something or their name is called means they will be motivated to pay attention and that's always good.
For the older set:
-Use rituals. Find an opening and closing song. Nothing motivates people more [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] than taking away the fear of the unknown.
-Give out rewards. You can give them a fancy notebook to celebrate the end of a session.
-Adopt matching costumes for year-end recitals.
-Again, try to emphasize your role as a teacher by creating sameness rather than difference. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Tell them about your kids. Give them a story about your day at the beginning. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] For this age group, this means they know you. Don't take up too much time doing this but certainly, try to include a minute.
-Make sure there are several times when you are physically on the same level as kids.
