Becoming a MoDE School
All Montana K-12 Schools are invited to participate in MoDE.
Applications are due April 2012 for the 2012-2013 school year.
How it’s been working . . .
- Elementary (K-5)— Dance educators use creative movement to explore and enhance curricular themes selected by classroom teachers —including math, science, communication arts and social studies. Dance educators travel to individual classrooms where the desks are pushed aside and shoes removed. 2008-2011 schools have contributed $1,500-3,000.
- Middle Schools (6-8)—Dance educators teach jazz dance, hip hop, or salsa during physical education classes in the gym. Schools have contributed between $350-$3,000.
- High Schools (9-12)—Dance educators teach movement for the stage and choreography in Drama classes on the theatre stage. Schools have contributed between $750-$3,000.
