This presentation discusses the speaker's efforts to broaden students' understanding of dance through experiential learning opportunities. Students participate in dance experiences in diverse settings like forests, beaches, schools, hospitals, and with varied groups. These experiences challenge students' assumptions and increase their awareness of how dance can meet community needs. The speaker aims to create a sense of "significance" for each student and "solidarity" within the group to foster a community of learners. Experiential learning through diverse teaching experiences is key to developing students' understanding of dance's role and potential impact.

EXPRESS 101
I believe that expressive arts have the potential to transmit values at a greater level than than the reflective arts. Philosophy and history is sometimes a challenge to express and understand. While this is the preferred method for some, I believe that is harder to understand for the masses. The visual and performing arts can be interpreted and appreciated by almost all who are privy to be exposed. People have different learning modalities. I believe that people who appreciate philosophy and history have a stronger auditory learning preference. Lectures and discussions on such topics appeal greatly to these individuals. People who have visual and tactile learning modalities would prefer the artistic means of learning about culture. I am one of these learners. I have great difficulty listening to a lecture but can read and study visual objects at great length. I also prefer hands on activities. The expressive arts give you a great many ways to appreciate and understand something from its authors perspective. When I see a fabulous work of art or hear a heart stirring piece of music, I desire to learn more about it. What caused the artist to create the work of art? What did they wish for us to gain from being exposed to it? I personally am drawn to ask more questions when exposed to this type of learning.
I believe that culture can be transmitted through either means effectively. It is up to the learner to engage with the medium they are exposed and to take from it all that they can. It is only when we expose ourselves to mediums outside of our preferences that we become well rounded, educated people. (279)
EXPRESS 102
The areas that I feel are the most effective within a culture are philosophy and performing art. Th’;/ese two for me go hand in hand. The reason I say philosophy over history is because, history is like a circle of things that to me happen over and over again. But with philosophy you get a more inside look on the beliefs, values and morals of those around you. I feel you gain more from this knowledge then from the knowledge you may get from history. I think performing arts you can see ones philosophy. They can bring out different parts of their philosophy in their art. You are able to visualize and act out some the philosophies and beliefs within your culture too. There is more you can learn about others values and more about your can show about your own values and philosophies. To me this was more difficult for me, in that to me history is what has happened, it is unchangeable. It also repeats its self. But philosophy is ones take or views on things, which to me is art, cause are is the expression of ones views. So I have answered these questions, in the way I understood them.

How important music in teaching scienc1
Music plays an important role in teaching science to children. When music is incorporated into science lessons, it helps capture children's interest and excitement to learn. According to research, music stimulates both sides of the brain and supports overall cognitive development in children. It can boost their general knowledge and intellectual capacity. As both science and music involve creative expression and present opportunities and challenges to society, combining the two subjects through songs and other activities can make science lessons more engaging and help children better understand and remember scientific concepts.

Kayla Alvarez's teaching philosophy focuses on a body-mind approach where self-awareness and content knowledge are equally important for personal development. She believes dance education can foster student confidence by exploring creative, logical, and physical aspects of students. Technique should consider students' identities and involve personal experiences. Teaching dance in K-12 helps develop critical thinking, interpersonal skills, and cultural awareness as students learn to consider different perspectives. Students gain confidence to innovate and respect others. Lessons must be tailored to students' ages, abilities, and needs to support a comfortable, student-centered learning environment. Cultural inclusion allows students to find confidence regardless of their future paths.

HOWELL_Executive_Summary_BEYOND_WORDS
This study examines how newly arrived immigrant and refugee children perceive and understand music learning activities at their school. Interviews were conducted with three students from different cultural backgrounds to understand their perspectives. The students demonstrated a clear understanding of the music lesson content and creative process. They emphasized the social and engaging aspects of music making. The most popular instruments were the bass xylophone and drums, likely due to their physicality and emotional expression. The students' perceptions of music learning were remarkably similar despite their diverse backgrounds, possibly because music lessens the stresses of cultural adaptation. This study provides insights into effectively eliciting perspectives from non-native English speaking children through creative interview techniques.

- 1. My teaching philosophy is grounded on the firm belief that everyone is gifted in his/her individual strenght and fashion; therefore my approach to teaching in the field of music is based on a hands-on and ear-open attitude towards the task at hand, and - wether it is in a classroom setting, a rehearsal, or a one to one lesson - , to enable and encourage each individual student to engage in a lifelong process of discovery. Furthermore, once this process of discovery both in and through music has begun, - it shall lead to a deeper understanding of oneself, life and humanity as a whole. I would be very happy to discuss the numerous ways I have engaged and inspired students of any age, - but the essence and merit I draw from teaching is the fact that I am just as exposed to the same music and theoretical facts as they are, only with the slight advantage of me being able to also see the whole picture, which allows me to e.g. put the details like intervals or chord progression in context and to discuss the matters of musical thinking and efficiency in music!
