Module One - Reflection

 We had a good session with some of you joining us this term on Module One - there were not many of you with us live, so hopefully you will get a sense of the discussions from my summary on this blog and the recording which is now on our MAPP ACI Unihub page for you, while you were not a part of the conversations unfolding...

In summary we discussed the following:

Practice - what consitutes you / your practice - consider this away from your identity of Dance Teacher, Choreographer, Community Dance Practitioner... what are the things that make up YOUR practice, that you define, value, act upon...what do you practice?

Embodiment - the underpinning philosophical lens of the MAPP programmes - seeing experience as knowledge through reflection.

Reflective Practice - the theoretical framework of this module - check out your module reading list and spend some time getting to know the work of key theorists in this field. Work through the tasks in the Module Handbooks designed to encourage you to think reflectively within your practice.

Identifying Areas of Prior Learning Experiences - check out your RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) Claim Handbook - begin unpacking your CV, peeling yourself away from the identity of job roles and looking more deeply through critically reflecting on your own learning experiences.

Those that were a part of these discussions do comment below with your own thoughts to add here and leave the link to your blog address where you can continue the conversations and others can be a part of them by commenting further.
