Syllabus Strategies: Focus on Grades 6-8 (Female) CPD Course

A practical course spit over two sessions in which participating teachers will gain an understanding of how to teach the Grade 6, 7 and 8 syllabi, focusing on the 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. This course does not cover the classical dances or character in detail.

Aims:

• To boost participants’ confidence in teaching the RAD’S Grades 6-8 syllabus through enhancing their knowledge and understanding of the criteria used in the mark scheme of the examinations,
• 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 regard 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, and
• Support the creation of development exercises for students by defining the requisite skills and knowledge to do so.

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