POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN EDUCATION: DANCE TEACHING
If you want to teach dance in UK secondary education then this programme is for you. The Postgraduate Certificate in Education: Dance Teaching (PGCE:DT) combines postgraduate studies with initial teacher training to give you a comprehensive preparation for dance teaching. The programme includes two
teaching placements in secondary schools and colleges supported by regular periods of study at the RAD Headquarters, London.
You will be introduced to the standards and requirements for government-recognised Qualified Teacher Status and work to fulfil these targets through the duration of your studies. You will be supported in your studies by School-based Tutors and RAD Tutors who will provide continuous feedback on your progress.
On successful completion of the PGCE:DT you will have gained a postgraduate qualification and Qualified Teacher Status and will be eligible to become a registered teacher with the RAD. Graduates from this programme can also apply for the Master of Teaching (Dance) with 60 credits exemption.
How is the programme taught? The programme involves 12 weeks of full-time study on site at the RAD in London and 24 weeks in professional placements within schools or colleges. Modules located at the Academy are delivered through taught sessions including practical workshops, lectures and seminars. During your placements you will work alongside School-based Tutors who are dance specialists. You will develop your knowledge and skills through a combination of observation, teaching and discussion with your tutors who will provide support on planning, teaching and self reflection.
Employment prospects We have 100% employment rate and our graduates have gone on to secure jobs in a range of contexts, including secondary schools, academies, FE colleges and grammar schools nationwide. Many of our graduates move on to become Heads of Department and many of our Partnership Schools and Colleges tutors are former RAD graduates.
Programme breakdown The programme comprises three interrelated areas of study:
Dance Studies During the programme you will extend your knowledge of dance as a subject in secondary education and study a selection of dance specifications, courses and curricula.
Professional Studies In preparation for teaching, you will be introduced to selected education theories and pedagogies and study the professional standards and requirements for all teachers working in the UK state sector. In order to gain Qualified Teacher Status, you will be required to demonstrate achievement of all the Standards legislated by the UK government.
School Experience and Teaching The third strand of the programme takes place in our Partnership Schools and Colleges in the form of two different School Experience and Teaching placements.
Our Partnership Schools and Colleges Our Partnership Schools and Colleges are based in inner and outer London and the home counties of Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and Hertfordshire.
