Time flies!!

 I have no idea where the last month has gone!! Feeling a sense of relief today that I have submitted 2 of my 4 AOL essays to turnitin - this was after a number of frustrating hours trying to copy and paste my illustrations into a word document! Eventually one of my students came to my rescue (they are well aware of my limited IT skills) and showed me how to use google docs to save in different formats. An absolute game changer! 

The last few weeks have been a bit of a blur - so busy at the moment - show rehearsals at the studio where I teach have now begun on Sundays, and a job application a couple of weeks ago took me a while to put together and plan and caused me to fall a little behind with where I wanted to be with my studies. I've been on catch up ever since! 

This week I'm giving my undivided attention (aside from work) to the module 1 reflective essay draft. Looking back over my notes since the start of the course, I realise just how much ground I've covered and that I'd already forgotten some of the thought processes/ reflections I had at the beginning. Hopefully I'll be able to get these into my essay in some coherent format!

Time management has never been my strong point and so this is really testing me and my ability to prioritise and lessen my stress levels!

Hope everyone else is doing ok? How are you finding juggling your time with everything? Any tips?!

    Hi Melody,
    I have to say I felt a great sense of relief after submitting my first AOL. Initially I'd written a lengthy essay, but after discussion I decided to break down the one essay into three AOLs. So now I'm focusing on my essay. Once that's done, then I'll go back and submit the other two. How you're managing to do your current workload plus MA - I take my hat off to you!! Back after a busy week adjudicating in the Isle of Wight and to top it all - just tested positive for covid - oh joy!!

Understanding the RPL claim

 So after the zoom session this morning on the RPL process, some of the fog has started to lift! Was good to see other faces on a Monday morning doing something that we wouldn't normally be doing- I definitely see Mondays as a bit of a challenge sometimes - always a busy day at the college and then followed by an evening of teaching in the studio. Starting the day off with a fresh focus felt great! One thing that I am relieved about is the fact that we don't have to get all the areas of learning essays in at the same time. The fact that we can spread them out over the 2nd term is reassuring, as I must admit that it feels quite daunting at the moment to think that they would all need to be done by the 21st March deadline. Maybe once I get going with the process and have had my supervision meeting, it may seem more achievable - I will wait and see. The fact that we can also write a longer essay and then claim for a greater weighting of the credits was something I hadn't reali...

Academic writing

 This has been a really fascinating week in terms of the zoom sessions. The one with Ruth Bonazza looking at free writing was a revelation! I've never journalled or done anything like this before and felt unsure that I'd be able to write continuously for 8 minutes on the given topic. Seems I was wrong! After getting over the initial worries/thoughts about writing 'properly' I really enjoyed the process, and will definitely use it as a tool to start off my ideas for reflective writing.  Ruth also gave a suggestion of looking at the Royal Literary Fund website which provides information and guidance for writing academic essays - I've only had a quick look so far but aim to take some time to look at this in more depth before I start to draft my first AOL essay. This morning's session with Peter Thomas answered a number of questions that I'd had regarding reading for research, and really put my mind at rest. Looking at methods of reading and finding information ...

Hello from Melody!

 Hi everyone, I'm Melody and this is my first ever blog!  I have danced all my life and after a career as a professional performer I have taught in a variety of settings both in the public and private sector. My current full-time role since 2008 has been as course leader and teacher on a Level 3 Extended Diploma course in Performing Arts in Stoke on Trent. My main subjects are ballet and jazz, but my role also includes teaching contextual studies, leading a team of 8 teachers in the delivery of the course, planning and assessment and pastoral care of our students (something which has grown considerably in the last few years). I also teach at a private studio one night a week teaching ages 12 - 24 years in ballet and jazz, although over the years I have taught ages 2 - 75 in a variety of styles. For 4 years I was head of dance at a high school teaching KS3/4 and GCSE Dance. I've also been an assessor and mentor for the British Ballet Organisation (bbodance) for their teaching q...
