Session Description

The MA Teaching and Facilitating (Creative Subjects) course enables you to develop all aspects of your teaching, combining practical experience with theoretical study. Students on this course will study one day per week at NSCD, with an expectation that their own professional practice equates to approx. 2 hours per week, or where intensive blocks of engagement in teaching practice during the year enable you to draw practical experience toward learning and assessment. NSCD will support placement experience on occasions when students don’t have this already in place. There is an expectation that students will carry out independent study in all modules to support lectures and practice. Through the lectures and your practice, you will observe, assist and lead on dance activity, looking at different learning and teaching styles, different learner profiles and how to most effectively educate in an inclusive learning environment. Through this hands-on approach, you’ll learn how to plan, deliver and assess dance effectively, supported by a specialist tutor at NSCD and an experienced colleague in the workplace/placement.
