                          Dance in Public Education:
A Practical Guide to Iowa's Dance Curriculum



In serving on a state Department of Education curriculum development committee, Valerie became impatient with the amount of time required for decision making and with the assumptions made by the state Department of Education. Figuring that what teachers actually needed were specific lesson plans, Valerie collected a number of field-tested lessons and wrote them as specifically as possible. Valerie is available for residencies and teacher in-service to teach use of the Guide and/or to help develop a dance curriculum.

This accompanying Guide contains lesson plans for units in creative movement, movement and curriculum, social dance, and folk dance. It also contains a rationale for creative movement, discussions of how to teach creative movement, reference pages, helpful lists of words (action, shape, describing, etc.), resources for music, film, video and more!
