Syllabus Strategies: Focus on Intermediate Foundation and Intermediate Live Stream CPD Course

This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to effectively teach the RAD Intermediate Foundation and Intermediate syllabi. Through interactive learning activities, you will explore how to create development exercises that support student progression and encourage an accurate interpretation of the criteria used in the mark scheme of the examination.

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 Intermediate Foundation and Intermediate 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.
