you said: Most of all, I've come to recognize items in the earlier Mainstream curriculum which I must drill harder the next opportunity. Some of the issues in our Plus class could have been avoided if I had been more diligent in the prior course.
congrats on finishing up the Plus class! Isn't it amazing that as you teach more and more, you realize what little things MAKE A DIFFERENCE from the previous level(s) that would make your life, and that of your students, easier and less stressful? I always experience this, and try to work it in so the "next time" all are better prepared, me and them both, for the material.
I'd be interested to know: what gems did you make note of, that you'd "drill harder" etc? Also, would you/Kent care to do a tip on Thursday night, or just come and be dancers (what a relief!) for once? See you then! A bunch of us are meeting at Dakota Cowgirl at 6pm beforehand for dinner if you can make it there.
... for class next time
