DEL Curriculum Design - Inspiration to Design ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

In this course, participants delve into the key components of lesson plan and curriculum design using the DEL (Dance Education Laboratory) framework and informed by Understanding by Design. Participants learn how to develop scaffolded, developmentally appropriate, and standards-based dance learning activities that draw connections to dance artistry, theme-based learning, and arts integration. Participants learn how to design dynamic lessons that align student learning objectives with content and assessments. By the end of the course, participants will write an original six lesson dance unit to share with their peers. This course also includes one-on-one coaching from course facilitators. This class is part of our partnership with the Dance Education Laboratory (DEL) of the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center in NYC. Students interested in our partnership program with the 92nd Street Y Dance Education Laboratory must contact Cindy Bates ([email protected]) for permission to enroll in this study. Students will also be expected to register at and pay a separate fee to DEL (Dance Education Laboratory).
