"Dance Student Assessment Booklet – Progress"

A student-facing progress tracker translating AO1–AO4 into plain language, with lesson logs, a mid-term check-in, and peer feedback slots.
Full description:
Assessment objectives mean little to students until they’re translated into plain, honest language — this booklet does exactly that. A simple table reframes Creating, Performing, Talking About My Own Work, and Knowing About Professional Dance into questions a student can actually answer about themselves, before they self-rate honestly against a four-point scale at both the start and end of term.
A photocopiable Lesson Log page lets students record what they did, one choreographic choice they made and why, an effort rating, and their response to teacher comments — built to take about two minutes per lesson so it becomes a genuine habit rather than a chore. A Mid-Term Check-In section tracks what’s improved and sets one specific goal for the second half of term, and a Peer Feedback Snapshot builds structured, low-stakes peer assessment into the routine.
The booklet closes with a full End-of-Term Summary — re-rating all four areas, comparing against the starting point, and capturing what the student is most proud of and wants to focus on next — with space for both student and teacher sign-off, making it a genuinely useful artefact for parents’ evenings or progress conversations, not just a classroom exercise.
