When you attend a course, you take the expertise of lecturers and pass it onto your students, who could potentially be our future teachers, examiners, and committee members. It is important to stay current and up to date with the latest syllabus changes, as well as changing trends and directions in the dance sector. Whether you have just finished your initial teacher training or you have been teaching for 20 years or more, there is always something new to learn. We recommend that all members participate in a minimum of 18 hours of CPD each year.Ĭontinuing Professional Development has a direct impact on the success of your business, keeping it current and vibrant and assisting your learners in staying creative, motivated and inspired. In 2021, we offered 382 courses totalling 1000+ hours of CPD, so there really will be something for everyone! Our CPD events also offer teachers the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with others from across the world.

CPD courses and events cover syllabus from all ISTD genres, as well as non-syllabus content such as mental health, diversity and inclusion, business development and dance science. Our CPD courses are open to members and non-members and are a fantastic way to refresh existing knowledge or pick up something new, with which to inspire your students for the term ahead. Take time to invest in yourself and your learners. We are here to support your needs and to ensure you are equipped to teach with confidence. In order to remain safe, professional dance teachers who practice the mark of quality should look to plan CPD on an annual basis. Taking time to share practice and learn from others not only equips you for your current teaching but also enables you to be inspired and reignite the passion you have for dance.

From attending courses and events to independent learning (such as reading and journaling), continuing professional development can come in many forms.Īs a dance teacher in any field of practice, you have a professional responsibility to ensure your skills and knowledge are current and up to date.
