4a questions questions questions

After reading the course reader and Sarah Pearson's blog.... I had two potential practises I wanted to develop questions for which would develop my learning. My two subjects I chose were teaching children with learning difficulties and auditioning and dance profession.
After writing questions down for both practises I decided to go with teaching as i will benefit from learning and developing this subject.

My draft set of questions about teaching children with learning difficulties are:


What qualifications do you need to teach children with learning disabilities dance?
Has the resection affected jobs with in schools for Children with learning disabilities? If so how has affected the school?
Can Children with learning disabilities benefit from dance and movement? If yes what would they be?
Should the class be more fun and involved?
Does dance improve there disabling and behaviour?
Does dance help them gain confidence?
Children with learning disabilities rely on routine, so if a dance class is changed how will it affect them?
What type of music is suitable in a dance class?
Can music be calming and relaxing for Children with learning disabilities?
If there are different abilities within a class which ability should you work towards?
Is it advisable to set targets and award systems?
Do exams or assessments add stress to children's lives?
Can the benefits in dance be explored in further depth so it can help other children?



I feel I can expand on my practise through more indepth questions which my occur as my learning develops.
