Syllabus Strategies: Focus on Grades 4 and 5 Live Stream CPD Course

This practical course is designed for teachers looking to deepen their understanding of the RAD Grades 4 and 5 syllabi. Through interactive discussions and practical exploration, you will develop effective teaching strategies and create development exercises that support an accurate interpretation of the assessment criteria. This course is ideal for teachers aiming to deliver the syllabi with clarity, confidence, and creativity.

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 4 and 5 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.
