CLASS/STUDENT DEVELOPMENTALANALYSIS
DEVELOPMENTAL RATIONALE FOR UNIT
Kinesthetic-Motor Development for 5-7 year olds: work on static balance, and stop and go cues, work on gross motor movement, isolate body parts, be
versatile in the use of hands and feet, work on cadence, steady beat, and moving in simple rhythmic patterns
(McCutchen,
2006)
Aesthetic-Artistic Development for 5-7 year olds: students will likely be in the "preoperational stage" as it relates to responding to dance by referring to "i like"
statements
(McCutchen,
2006)
Cognitive-Intellectual Developmen tor 5-7 year olds: become aware of dance as nonverbal expressive movement, increase dance elements vocabulary
(McCutchen,
2006)
Psychological-Social Development for 5-7 year olds: improvisational dance, supervised movement explorations and critical thinking questions, both individual
and cooperative work, opportunities to take turns, positive feedback, encouragement for individual efforts, close guidance to stay on task
(McCutchen,
2006)
CLASS/STUDENT INFORMATION
Describe the demographics in your class: gender, cultural, ESL, IEPs. Base this off your site visit. You can revise after your first week teaching.
A majority of the class population is hispanic/latino. The class has five female-identifying students and four male-identifying students.
CLASS/STUDENT INTERESTS
List your students' interests and how you plan to address them. Base this off your site visit. You can revise after your first week teaching.
Interested in moving, will be addressed through: Will be addressed through embodied learning practices/frameworks
Interested in speaking/sharing about themselves: Will be addressed through activities relating to self, culture, experience, or opinion in which students get to
show off their individual identities and personalities with their peers/teachers
Interested in "fantasy"/play: Will be addressed through "journeys" across the world, imagery, improvisation, and various games
POSSIBLE STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
Discuss any possible misconceptions students could have regarding the content of your unit and how you might address them.
At this age, students may have difficulty moving the body without talking. We will set up a system for differentiating when it's time for students to move silently
and when it is time to move with sounds (e.g. a hand signal or timer)
At this age, students may have difficulty sharing or taking turns. We will establish a chart system to rotate opportunities/jobs within the classroom.
CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
Community approach vs. individualistic approach
Language differences/ways for communicating
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ESL STUDENTS
We currently have no ESL students, though many are bi-lingual. Here are some steps we hope to make to accommodate them:
Visual supports (e.g. images,charts, diagrams, videos)
Videos with subtitles (in english and/or spanish)
Opportunities to engage in and share their native language with others while also engaging in the English language during classroom activities
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH IEPs
Because this is an after-school community program, you will not have access to IEPs, nor will you necessisarily be informed if there is a student in your class
with an IEP. Use your best judgment and approach to teaching students with specific learning and behavioral considerations.
One student demonstrates some behaviors that characterize those exhibited by students diagnosed with ADHD. He is incredibly hyperactive, continually
speaks out and interrupts others throughout class activities, and continues doing so despite being asked to refrain multiple times. One strategy we could
implement is to set a timer for five minutes at a time and tell him that whenever the timer goes off, he has the opportunity to share something with the class,
but needs to remain quiet and on task otherwise. We can also ensure our class activities are interactive, novel and dynamic to keep his attention and interest.
Lastly, we will set up the physical classroom space in a way that limits distractions (e.g. keep toys out of sight, no flags hanging from the wall within arms
reach)
One student exhibits behaviors that indicate sensitivity to sensory stimuli. We can create a calm corner for this student with objects intended to help him self-soothe.

  • 3. CLASS/STUDENT DEVELOPMENTALANALYSIS DEVELOPMENTAL RATIONALE FOR UNIT Kinesthetic-Motor Development for 5-7 year olds: work on static balance, and stop and go cues, work on gross motor movement, isolate body parts, be versatile in the use of hands and feet, work on cadence, steady beat, and moving in simple rhythmic patterns (McCutchen, 2006) Aesthetic-Artistic Development for 5-7 year olds: students will likely be in the "preoperational stage" as it relates to responding to dance by referring to "i like" statements (McCutchen, 2006) Cognitive-Intellectual Developmen tor 5-7 year olds: become aware of dance as nonverbal expressive movement, increase dance elements vocabulary (McCutchen, 2006) Psychological-Social Development for 5-7 year olds: improvisational dance, supervised movement explorations and critical thinking questions, both individual and cooperative work, opportunities to take turns, positive feedback, encouragement for individual efforts, close guidance to stay on task (McCutchen, 2006) CLASS/STUDENT INFORMATION Describe the demographics in your class: gender, cultural, ESL, IEPs. Base this off your site visit. You can revise after your first week teaching. A majority of the class population is hispanic/latino. The class has five female-identifying students and four male-identifying students. CLASS/STUDENT INTERESTS List your students' interests and how you plan to address them. Base this off your site visit. You can revise after your first week teaching. Interested in moving, will be addressed through: Will be addressed through embodied learning practices/frameworks Interested in speaking/sharing about themselves: Will be addressed through activities relating to self, culture, experience, or opinion in which students get to show off their individual identities and personalities with their peers/teachers Interested in "fantasy"/play: Will be addressed through "journeys" across the world, imagery, improvisation, and various games POSSIBLE STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS Discuss any possible misconceptions students could have regarding the content of your unit and how you might address them. At this age, students may have difficulty moving the body without talking. We will set up a system for differentiating when it's time for students to move silently and when it is time to move with sounds (e.g. a hand signal or timer) At this age, students may have difficulty sharing or taking turns. We will establish a chart system to rotate opportunities/jobs within the classroom. CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS Community approach vs. individualistic approach Language differences/ways for communicating ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ESL STUDENTS We currently have no ESL students, though many are bi-lingual. Here are some steps we hope to make to accommodate them: Visual supports (e.g. images,charts, diagrams, videos) Videos with subtitles (in english and/or spanish) Opportunities to engage in and share their native language with others while also engaging in the English language during classroom activities ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH IEPs Because this is an after-school community program, you will not have access to IEPs, nor will you necessisarily be informed if there is a student in your class with an IEP. Use your best judgment and approach to teaching students with specific learning and behavioral considerations. One student demonstrates some behaviors that characterize those exhibited by students diagnosed with ADHD. He is incredibly hyperactive, continually speaks out and interrupts others throughout class activities, and continues doing so despite being asked to refrain multiple times. One strategy we could implement is to set a timer for five minutes at a time and tell him that whenever the timer goes off, he has the opportunity to share something with the class, but needs to remain quiet and on task otherwise. We can also ensure our class activities are interactive, novel and dynamic to keep his attention and interest. Lastly, we will set up the physical classroom space in a way that limits distractions (e.g. keep toys out of sight, no flags hanging from the wall within arms reach)
  • 4. One student exhibits behaviors that indicate sensitivity to sensory stimuli. We can create a calm corner for this student with objects intended to help him self-soothe.
