A one-day practical course in which participating teachers will gain an understanding of how to teach the Grade 6, 7 and 8 syllabi with new resources, focusing on either the female work, or the male and female work. Learning activities will focus on creating appropriate development exercises to encourage an accurate interpretation of the criteria used in the mark scheme of the examination.

Aims

The aim of this one-day practical course is to boost participants’ confidence in teaching of the RAD’s Grades 6, 7 and 8 syllabus through enhancing their knowledge and understanding of the criteria used in the mark scheme of the examinations.

It will:

Look in depth at the philosophy of Grades 6, 7 and 8
Offer a chance to improve understanding of specific areas within the syllabus, particularly in regards to technical, musical and performance aspects of the work, as identified by examiners during examinations.
Reflect on the relevance and interpretation of the assessment criteria in selected exercises and dances
Provide a platform to discuss, explore and develop strategies to strengthen areas of the work
Support the creation of development exercises for students by defining the requisite skills and knowledge to do so.
Attendees at the course will be better able to understand the ‘how’ of teaching the syllabus, increase knowledge of the assessment criteria and gain insight into how the candidates are generally coping in the examinations.

Participants will be able to:

Demonstrate, physically and/or through explanation, an understanding of the technique/s at each level
