ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Some of the attentions that I recognize in the modality of my way of teaching are :

In the “Process and Goals” I believe for "do as SMART Planning as possible"

(Encourage the students to set specific, measureable, age-appropriate, realistic, and

timetargeted goals)

In the "Decision-Making by Objective" I try Provide variety in decision-making aspects of

class and identify the objectives to be met by each task

What is very important for me is "Optimizing the Self Within Community" (Recognize

individual differences and optimize individual potential)

“Ritualizing Respect”, namely Foster an environment of mutual, reciprocal and self-

respect in and out of the classroom

I’m sure that what Influences Affecting the Dancer is :

Mentoring: Embody the qualities of a positive leader and role model

Nurturing the Learner: Provide positive reinforcement and constructive criticism in ways

the student can develop skill mastery and comprehension of principles

Creating Fun and Challenges for All: Foster an enjoyable, challenging atmosphere for

learning and experience

What It is must important, for me, is give the supports to the students, for

Empowering the Self:

Recognize and positively reinforce the dancer for personal qualities and

contributions to the class; empower students to feel good about their bodies and

their self development, the Focusing on the Task: Encourage students to focus on

the task at hand and not the outcome or social or inter-personal comparisons, and

more,Thinking about Learning: provide opportunities for students to explore

personal metacognitive strategies (“How do I learn?” activities and discussion)

What I Train when I give Structure and Content of the Class :

Building Foundations: Build foundations of domain specific knowledge in progressive

sequence and with complementary background information

Mixing and Matching: Provide opportunities to learn or process information in various

ways across learning tasks and situations, including somatic and analytic strategies, and

contextual variety

Developing Body Awareness: Provide somatic experiences, information and

opportunities

Enhancing Body Image: Provide opportunities to discuss and reinforce healthy body

image and supportive strategies in terms of nutrition and conditioning

Embracing the Safe and Sound: Ensure safe practices are established and based on

sound scientific, medical and/or empirical evidence regarding alignment work and

prevention and management of injuries

Creating Enlightened Practice: Provide constructive feedback and incorporate

appropriate repetition

“I have a big desire to spend such experience...

My heart is where the dance is... “

Sincerely,

Alessandra Grasso
