University of Newcastle Students

An exciting course is now available for primary and secondary education students at the University of Newcastle, to experience the national award-winning Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered research program.

Working alongside a team of internationally regarded researchers led by Professor Philip Morgan, EDUC4017 students become actively involved in the delivery of the program in the community and complete a course to become accredited program facilitators.

This unique course is creating widespread research impact by ensuring pre-service teachers graduate with the skills and knowledge needed to provide girls and boys with equal opportunities in physical activity for optimal physical, social and emotional development.

The guiding principles and practices of the Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered program have been embedded in the EDUC4017 course and enrolment is now available.
