Course description:

This course aims to prepare educators to teach dance, physical education, health education and personal development in secondary education and to apply their knowledge and skills in other educational and professional contexts. Students can simultaneously broaden their experience in dance and in physical education in an environment focusing on educational pedagogy. Both areas are supported by the study of personal development, health and the anatomy of the human body. The course is taught via lectures, tutorials, dance classes, performance workshops, seminars and individual tuition. Students also complete four professional experience sessions in a range of schools. The degree caters for those seeking a career as teachers of Dance and PDHPE in secondary schools, as well as those seeking other professional careers associated with Dance or Dance Education. Students will be qualified to: teach dance in secondary schools in government and non-government sectors, teach PDHPE in secondary schools in government and non-government sectors, teach dance in private dance studios, teach dance, sport and other physical pursuits for community groups and coordinate community programs in dance, arts and recreation.
