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.
