Enhancing Creativity: Helen Tocci's Visit to BIS Abu Dhabi from The Juilliard School

Enhancing Creativity: Helen Tocci's Visit to BIS Abu Dhabi from The Juilliard School - Enhancing Creativity Helen Toccis Visit to BIS Abu Dhabi from The Juilliard School

Last week, we were thrilled to welcome Helen Tocci, our Dance Specialist from The Juilliard School, to BIS Abu Dhabi. During the visit, Helen observed our PE teachers delivering the Juilliard Creative Classroom lessons, which support the Dance programme within the PE Department here at BIS Abu Dhabi. The Juilliard Creative Classroom is an online platform full of resources and tools that provide additional material to teachers to engage students in creative lessons with meaningful tasks and activities, along with visual images, accompanying music, and reflective dialogue.

As dance impacts our students across the curriculum, Helen also worked with Year 5 and 6 classroom teachers who participated in workshops to understand the Juilliard philosophy. They too learned how to use the Juilliard Creative Classroom platform to help build elements of creativity within and alongside their classroom curriculum.

Whilst Miss Tocci was here, she was also able to offer her expertise to the BSME Dancers and the Boys Dance Company. Our partnership with The Juilliard School continues to grow and allows students to thrive with creativity, communication skills, and leadership.
