Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Analyse learning environment and session requirements
   • Establish learning context and organisational arrangements
   • Access and review learning program documentation to determine delivery requirements
   • Use available information and documentation to identify group and individual learner needs and learner characteristics
   • Follow processes to identify learner support requirements
   • Identify and assess constraints and risks to delivery
   • Confirm personal role and responsibilities in planning and delivering training with relevant personnel
2. Prepare session plans
   • Refine specific learning objectives and assessment activities according to learning program requirements, and specific needs of individual learners or target group
   • Generate ideas for teaching strategies using knowledge of learning principles and learning theories that reflect the requirements of classes
   • Evaluate existing learning resources and documented learning activities identified in learning programs for use in the specific teaching context
   • Develop and document session plans for each segment of learning programs to be addressed
3. Prepare resources for sessions
   • Modify and contextualise existing learning resources and learning activities to cater for particular individual learners and groups
   • Develop and document additional learning activities to meet specific session requirements based on the application of learning principles and individual and group learner styles
   • Organise and finalise learning materials required by learners in time for delivery
   • Identify and organise specific skills, technology and equipment needed in time for classes
   • Identify and organise additional resourcing to meet identified learner support as required
   • Confirm overall teaching plan with relevant personnel

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to develop session plans that:

cover the teaching of at least one dance or movement technique

take account of the learning environment and teaching requirements

include the required resources

cater for individual and group learner needs and characteristics

show that constraints and hazards have been identified and risks assessed and mitigated where possible.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
