2009. “To fully prize diversity, a school must embrace differences in students' abilities and learning approaches as well as in race, gender, ethnicity, and so forth. And to reach special needs children, teaching styles themselves must also be diverse. This classic program with Sally L. Smith stresses the importance of individualized instruction for students with learning disabilities and ADHD and discusses how teachers can develop unique strategies and accommodations to help these children learn more effectively.”
2006. Ellner, Allison.; Assaf, Michèle.; Noblett, Toni. "A teacher's most valuable resources are the tiniest dancers who toddle through the door. Teaching and keeping them is one of the foremost challenges of dance education. Veteran studio owner and teacher, Toni Noblett, will guide you through those first daunting days of class with advice and ideas that are practical, honest, and inventive. This video will give you the basic tools to plan a curriculum that features creative movement as the initial course of study for beginning dancers. It features games that will equip the youngest students to function in next year's tap, ballet, or jazz dance class, and it encourages you to allow children to be children for at least another year."
2006. “Bishops Castle Primary School is set in rural Shropshire. Victoria Palmer teaches a cross-key-stage class of mainly Year 2s, the oldest Year 1s and some Year 3s. She is familiar with linking the arts with other curriculum areas in her teaching, but has never tried to link dance with science. In this programme we see Victoria as she meets up with a dancer, Rachel Freeman, to plan and teach a lesson about the human body. Rachel regularly goes into schools to work with teachers in this way. In the lesson Victoria and Rachel introduce different body parts and how they move, and what happens to their bodies before and after exercise. The children do different dance sequences at different tempos and observe changes in their breathing, heart rates and temperature.”
