Creative Approach

            Kellen Wiley Students should design a creative dance lesson plan using the components above, applying Movement Metaphors, Conceptual Dance/Art, VAKT Learning Styles, and Individuation. Roles of the teacher should include being a Creativity Facilitator, Behavior Manager, Freedom-to-Make-Mistakes Giver, and balancing Coach, Teacher, and Mentor functions.   Herbert Scroggins I think with the younger Kids one should let them be and give them things that are easy for their mind but keep them up with the older kids. With the older kids, one should...

Core Concept: The Kinesthetic Loop

Image
    Kellen Wiley Creative dance improvisation is spontaneous movement where students explore and express ideas, emotions, or concepts without pre-set choreography. The kinesthetic approach focuses on awareness of movement sensations and body feedback to guide learning and expression. Movement expression helps students internalize concepts, connect physically and mentally, and retain information through embodied learning. Movement can be analyzed by form, flow, rhythm, energy, spatial patterns, and emotional expression. The kinesthetic loop is the continuous feedback process where students sense, process, and adjust movements, linking physical actions with learning and awareness. Body alignment, balance, rhythm, coordination, spatial awareness, and expressive quality. Through guided improvisation, mindful observation...

Holistic Curriculum

  Kellen Wiley The Holistic Curriculum A holistic approach to a school program would focus on the whole child, not just academic skills. It would include emotional, social, physical, and creative development alongside traditional subjects. For example, lessons could combine mindfulness, gratitude journaling, and brain breaks with math, science, and language learning to ensure students grow in resilience, self-awareness, and kindness. An optimistic classroom is one where teachers and students share a positive, supportive environment. It encourages hope, motivation, and kindness, helping students believe in their ability to succeed. Teachers in a...

Teaching Philosophy Statement: Coaching Philosophy

Image
      Kellen Wiley   I believe teaching is about guiding students to discover their potential while feeling supported and valued. My approach balances structured tasks with strong relationships, ensuring students achieve learning goals while developing confidence, creativity, and social skills. In the arts, I emphasize process over product, encouraging experimentation, reflection, and self-expression. I aim to create a safe, positive, and engaging classroom where every student can succeed.   Herbert Scroggins (III )  I want to Coach because I was once a player who wanted to instill my craft into the next generation of athletes. Coaching to me is like being the Father on the field teaching them life skills through the drills I teach and then to the field. Football is like life you either want to be hit or you do the hitting. You either attack the day or you bring attacked by the challenges of that day. Teaching and Training football can make...
