Dance Assessment Criteria for Key Stage Three

This resource is intended for use in Key Stage Three, and lower-level GCSE Dance classes. This assessment criteria comprehensively breaks down the various GCSE Dance Assessment criteria, introducing students to assessment vocabulary based on the three areas of Assessment in Dance: Choreography; Performance; Responding.

The criteria is split into 6 Grades, which is based on an ‘elements of’ system of grading. For example, if a student hit all of the criteria in Grade 1, they would be working at ‘elements of’ a GCSE Grade 1, which gives a seamless transition into GCSE grading.

Perfect for:
Teacher Assessment
Self Assessment
Peer Assessment
Giving verbal feedback using key terminology
Independent self-improvement
