- Summary:
- Special education teachers employ a variety of strategies to support the needs of students in their classrooms. This research focused on the beliefs that special education teachers have on the incorporation of dance to support academic, behavioral, physical, sensory, medical, social-emotional, and communication needs. Included in this study was an exploration of the role that mindsets, skill sets, and knowledge play in the belief systems and subsequent actions of special education teachers around the incorporation of dance into their practice. This study employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. As such, this study used qualitative data gleaned from interviews to explain and interpret the quantitative results of a survey. This research provides educational leaders with insight into the beliefs that special education teachers hold around the incorporation of dance to support student needs and the factors that influence those beliefs.
