CPD with the RAD
The RAD is committed to producing the best teachers in the world and CPD is one way to showcase that you are up to date on current dance teaching practice, legislation or health and personal wellbeing.
We offer a range of professional and personal development opportunities to suit you. Activities are open to all; however, RAD teaching members will need to participate in a minimum number of CPD activities each year in order to retain Registered Teacher status. This requirement must be completed in the CPD year, between 1 September and 31 August.
What is CPD with the RAD?
RAD CPD has two strands: professional, and personal development. We believe in order to be at the forefront of dance teaching, you must also take care of yourself. Professional development includes activities that focus on your craft – knowledge of classical ballet technique, the ability to break steps down for your students into manageable pieces and teaching them how to enjoy movement and dance to the best of their ability. Personal development focuses on you not only as a dance teacher but also as a person. How can you maintain a work-life balance? Can you meet a dance teacher’s demands in the 21st century? By participating in CPD, you take control of your career development.
