Overview

The Postgraduate Certificate Secondary Education - Dance programme at University of Wolverhampton is specifically designed to ensure that those who are successful will be recommended for the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - the professional award required by all those who wish to teach in a maintained school.

Quick Facts:

The aim of the Dance course is to develop thoughtful teachers who can respond effectively to the learning needs of young people in school by providing a balanced dance and physical education programme. We also want to inspire a generation to become physically literate and active by providing well prepared, high quality dance experiences for all students.
As a trainee you will learn how to teach dance to pupils in the 11–16 age – range within the secondary age phase, with additional primary and post-16 enhancements. You will learn how to develop skills, knowledge and understanding for teaching dance through a combination of university-led and school-led training.

Career

The PGCE in Secondary Education leads to recommendation for QTS, and enables you to take up a qualified teaching post in a secondary school.

In secondary schools you could be considered for a Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR), which may comprise any of the following:

Leading a particular subject as head of department, faculty or curriculum

Leading the achievement of a particular age group as head of year or key stage coordinator

Leading a particular area such as special education needs or pastoral care (i.e. personal guidance)

Later, you could progress to a senior leadership position such as a deputy or assistant head and head teacher - at which point you will have overall responsibility for the leadership and management of a school and the education its students receive.
