The Behavior Modification Curriculum

 The Behavior Modification Curriculum

Action Plan

My Beliefs

I believe that my students will leave this class having learned a new way to move with their bodies. My students are curious and are in an essential part of their lives, as they are just months away from going to college and/or pursuing their careers, so not only will this class be experimental, but it will also be a nice memory to take with them as they move on from Senior High. I want my students to have a great time and learn something new altogether.

Our experimental course will allow students to explore different styles of dance
