Course Description & Objective IBMYP- Middle Years Programme This course is part of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme at North Atlanta High School which aims to help IBMYP learners to become inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective. The learning experiences will allow students to gain analytical skills to promote informed decision-making, engage in teamwork and collaboration, frame their own inquiries, pursue personal aspirations, set challenging goals and have persistence to achieve them. Students will work towards a deepening of their conceptual understanding as they approach concepts from a range of perspectives. As concepts are studied throughout the year, the following global contexts will be in constant consideration: identities and relationships, orientation in time and space, fairness and development, globalization and sustainability, scientific and technical innovation, and personal and cultural expression. IBMYP Assessments aim to support and courage student learning by providing feedback and promoting deep understanding of subject content by supporting students in their inquiry in real-world contexts. Specific assessment criteria with subject objectives will be provided. A year-long IBMYP personal project accompanied by a journal is to be produced at the end of the 10th grade year. The personal project enables students to engage in practical exploration through a cycle of inquiry, action, and reflection. Timelines and descriptions of tasks will be provided. IBMYP: From principles to practice The Dance Program is designed to promote and enhance student awareness and appreciation of dance as a performing art. According to the Georgia Performance Standards of Fine Arts, students will learn Foundations, they will Create, learn how to Respond and how to Connect to this art form. The course will include dance application in ballet, modern and jazz as well as cultural and creative dance. Students will: demonstrate increased confidence and ability to create personal movement statements/studies reflective of personal values or meaning; know, apply and reflect on principles of choreographic structures and choreographic tools; demonstrate knowledge of the “Elements of Dance” as they apply them to their performance in class, on stage and in the language of their written work; increase their observational skills as they use artistic protocols during discussions and written assignments as they analyze dance work; exhibit increased levels of tolerance of, and appreciation for, previously unencountered manifestations of dance in their own as well as other cultures; understand and use improvisation as a tool for choreography; value a variety of movement approaches to increase body integration. All students enrolled in this course will have the opportunity to participate/perform in informal and formal dance presentations. While each class level does not participate in ALL performances, students are expected to contribute to the performance in whatever assigned capacity (i.e. performing, ushering, program notes, stage management, costumes, etc.).
