Currently writing dance schemes of work for new term. As a dance teacher the schemes would be written with an objective in mind, but to be suitable for a school situation the objective then have to be levelled using curriculum level descriptors. Making sure I know how each objective looks at each level chosen. Opportunities need to be included in the schemes for Students to be able to assess their performance. 2 stars and a wish but with more criteria. Something I have found challenging in my practice.
Question to QTS TEACHERS AND DANCE TEACHERS. NQT and more EXPERIENCED TEACHERS - Has using level descriptors been a challenge to you in preparation for teaching and in you teaching. For NQT has your additional QTS training made understanding how to level and use levels in your teaching easier, please give details.
Jan great to talk to you the other day - your inquiry into the process that qualified dance teachers take to gain QTS is one that I am sure interests others on the course - especially as you are looking into the new portfolio route. I think the links between that route and what we do with experiential learning is very timely. Hope to hear more form you soon. Bw
