Syllabus Strategies: Focus on Grades 1–3 CPD Course

Refresh your teaching of the RAD Grades 1–3 syllabi through this one-day practical, interactive course. Gain deeper insight into select set exercises and dances, while exploring engaging, student-focused training exercises that support learning and progression.

Aims

 The Syllabus Strategies Course is designed to:

• Look in depth at the philosophy of the work,
• 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, and
• Support the creation of development exercises for Grades 1 – 3 students by defining the requisite skills and knowledge to do so.

Participants 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.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this course, participants will:

• Be able to demonstrate, physically and/or through explanation, an understanding of the technique(s) at each level,
• Be able to discuss the relevance and interpretation of the assessment criteria in selected exercises and dances, and
• Have knowledge and understanding of approaches to help their learners develop the necessary strength and understanding to achieve the requirements of the assessment criteria in the examination.
