Pace & flexibility
Due to the limited time that we had with the students, the session was fast paced so that we could use
the time as effectively as possible.
As the students were keen to add tricks into their creative task, we agreed on saying yes to these
suggestions as long as the students where safe in their spaces.
We also allowed for students to give suggestions of what they could add into their own phrases as some
students found this task difficult. One student asked if they could take material from a different routine
that they had learned. We said yes and this suggestions seemed to help with those students who were
struggling with the task.
Your notes post facilitation feedback with observer (Caroline) if applicable . Caroline will
discuss elements of your preparation and organisation, session content and structure,
engagement and communication, differentiation & assessment and pace & flexibility:
