How do you know if you are offering your students a safe and positive environment for learning?
Are you concerned about your legal or ethical responsibilities as a dance teacher or studio owner?
Do you want to review your teaching methods and increase your teaching knowledge?
Ausdance WA is committed to providing high-quality dance education and professional learning opportunities for dance teachers. In 2018 we will offer the first of a new series of workshops that focus on best practice and reference Ausdance National guidelines with a practical approach. As a participant, you will review the current dance educator’s environment, exploring the requirements and challenges of teachers working in studio, recreational and social dance contexts.
Developed with and delivered by James Berlyn, this three-day workshop offers practical activities and exercises that primarily examine the relationships involved in a dance business by role-playing examples and discussing solutions to frequent issues and challenges. The content draws from over forty years of research, consultation and experience and will reference the newly released Safe Dance IV report as well as factsheets and guidelines from Ausdance National.
Each workshop will have a different focus, but at the core of the workshop is an emphasis on pedagogy and an opportunity to reflect on your own teaching practice in a supportive, professional environment.
At a glance:
Before: 4 hours pre-reading and research
During: 12 hours contact time across 3 days, not including breaks
At conclusion: You will have reviewed your own teaching approach, methods and environment, and completed an ethics and behaviour checklist, audit and database within your own context
Bonus: Enrolment in the Dance Teachers’ Toolkit will also give you a FREE one-month subscription to ALL the courses available at Dance Knowledge.
The community of Ausdance WA acknowledges the Traditional Owners of all Lands and Countries on this continent. We pay particular respect to Elders, Cultural and Community Leaders, and emerging leaders. With this understanding of the country’s First Peoples, we are grateful for our place in learning and serving dance, Arts and Culture in Western Australia.
Always Was. Always Will Be.
