Task 6C- Award Specialism Title

Choosing an Award Specialism Title made me thinkg about my inquiry, but also my future career path. Where do I want to be in the future? Where can my degree take me? Will it open up new paths and doors. Based on previous reflections I feel strongly that mt career path is going to continue within education. At the moment my current career is within the Arts part of the curriculum. However, I would like to progress to teach across a broader amount of subjects within a Primary School environment. This degree will allow me to apply for a Teacher training course such as a PGCE or SCITT. I am not going to put forward the suggested titles as I feel my practice and my inquiry are moving away from the arts and focusing purely on education and teaching

My proposed specialist title : BA (Hons) Professional Practice in Arts (Primary 

Education) 

This is the first draft of my Award Specialist Title Form: 

'Primary Education' would suit my Award Title because I feel it relates to my current Professional Practice. During this course and before this course I have been teaching dance and gymnastics to Primary aged children within their school timetable. I prepare and deliver safe PE lessons that meet the OFSTED guidelines, to be able to do this I have used the Primary Education curriculum to tailor my lessons. Within my current practice I also up skill teachers on how to teach the Arts to meet the school curriculum. I also pass over my specialist knowledge from years of dancing myself. Having worked closely with the curriculum, I feel strongly that my career will continue in education, particularly in a Primary School environment. I am very keen to expand my teaching knowledge and I am interested in a Primary School Teacher Training Course. This particular title would help me to progress in my career and gain further teaching qualifications. Through the ROL course I highlighted key aspects for Primary teaching; behaviour management, safety and assessment of learning. These essays were created from my personal experiences in Primary School Education. I am researching into what makes a 'good' teacher and the qualities teachers need in order to teacher 'well' in a Primary school environment. I will be questioning Primary school teachers as well as dance/sport teachers about what they think it takes to be a teacher in a Primary School and what is 'good' teaching practice. This title links with my interests, current employment, inquiry and my future career goals.   

  

I welcome any feedback anyone might have. Is Primary Education jumping too far from dance? Am I allowed to have education as this isn't an education course but my inquiry is ?
