Your Continuous MIU Affiliate Programme assessment
MIU Registered Graham/Horton teachers can apply as soon as they have completed our online teacher training. Their MIU teacher training, final examination and essay are validated as the first step towards the Affiliate Programme application. You will need to provide the following documentation to complete your application as part of your continuous assessment.
Applicants should prepare a 4-step professional written presentation and a video statement, explaining in complete transparency:
1. The age group of their students, whether the delivery of Graham/Horton lessons will be for recreational or vocational purposes, and how it will support their growth in a hobby and, if applicable, on a professional basis.
2. The impact of the MIU affiliation on their community and on learning outcomes should be clearly stated, along with a long-term vision for how this affiliation can benefit their community and their own teaching practice.
3. Include your current teaching experience as a contemporary/modern teacher in a vocational or recreational setting.
Present yourself explaining why you want to become an MIU Affiliate teacher and the context in which you plan to use this affiliation, whether in your own school, employment, or as a guest instructor. Reflect on your training journey at MIU from the dance student's perspective and on how its key elements will benefit your students. The video shouldn't be longer than 5 minutes.
Applicants will submit two written documents: Horton or Graham lesson plans, each accompanied by a relevant reflection and evaluation of teaching and learning in the class, demonstrating a clear understanding of the outcomes. One lesson plan should be designed for beginner students aged 12+, and the other for Int/Adv students aged 15+. If you graduated from both teacher training programmes, you may submit one lesson plan for Graham and one for Horton at the levels described above.
