A4: 1/2 Using the @tdfu_ed model: Start by playing with dance (modify rules of dance: don’t stand in lines, don’t teach right/left choreo), then teach Ss how to create their own moves. Let them create sequences based on GLOs. #SHAPEPhysed

[Melanie Levenberg (She/Her/Hers) @melanie_pl3y]

@NKeenliside @AnnaPullen74 @PEgeeks Yes!! Grade 3+ students can create and sequence their own dance moves! To make assessment “easier” for Ts, I like to give Ss a framework based on FMS/Elements of Dance to create from. Eg “High-Bounce-Leap-Throw”. Each word is 8 counts + move possibilities are endless @TDfU_ed

Amazing day in Long Island at @NYSAHPERD Suffolk Zone Conference presenting @DANCEPL3Y and @TDfU_ed workshops. Thank you to Kerry at the team for putting on such a fantastic event! Highlight for me was all the student volunteers who kept coming back to dance! #physed #dance #prod

We love seeing the application of the skills learned by participants who attend conference workshops and trainings with author @MelanieG_pl3y #tdfu #tgfu #physed #dance #danced

Today was so much fun!! What a fantastic Developing Physical Literacy Through Dance workshop at Rhythm and Moves Conference in The Bay. I also love their conference theme: Teaching with Joy in Mind. #youareawesome @DANCEPL3Y @TDfU_ed

[TDfU @TDfU_ed]

Teaching Tip: Make sure your students are always moving on the rhythm of the music when they create their own dance moves. Help them by coaching them to stay on the beat (example in this vid) #dance #physed #physicalliteracy #teachingdance #proD

@TDfU_ed What an amazing week in Northern Alberta! I had the opportunity to meet so many fantastic people who invited me into their community. It was awesome to see everyone show their playful, fun, rockstar sides while building physical literacy through @DANCEPL3Y
