The initial
question that popped into my mind when considering the transition from
practitioner to teacher was,
“Does
being a talented performer necessarily make you a good teacher?”
With this in
mind I thought about my existing skills and those that I would need to develop,
what makes a good teacher, what makes a bad teacher and my vision of the type
of teacher I aspire to be.
Most of the
questions that I raised were very wide ranging with too many potential
responses so I decided that I needed to be more specific and hone down the
field of inquiry to provide a database that would be more useful when
conducting the research during Module 3.
These are the
first set of questions to which I will seek feedback from my SIG group and
colleagues. Based upon the feedback I receive I will then adapt them to ensure
that I cover all necessary areas and phrase the questions so there is no
ambiguity when consulting the final focus group.

·
What

Does
having more experience within the performance industry mean you will be more
respected as an arts teacher?
·

·
Should

Any advice to those wishing to do so?
