Chapter 3.6

The following examination forms are the standard form for students within the T2 Program*. They are designed to be universal forms that apply to each level of training in Eurhythmics, Solfège, Improvisation, and Pedagogy. The forms are not fixed; the order and content are adaptable so long as the objectives are met within each area. At this time, each individual training program will devise its own method of evaluating Plastique Animée.

Structure

The examination structure is flexible and is determined by each individual training program. The examination forms are designed to help facilitate the examination process so that it is both fair and consistent. The PDC hopes that these forms will help teacher-trainers provide valuable written feedback to each student within their program. Electronic versions of these documents can be made available to PDC-approved teachers so that they can be modified to include more space for those evaluating students by hand or to facilitate those wishing to type their evaluations. Additional exercises can be added to the forms, but they must be scored in a similar fashion to the other exercises in the examination.

Scoring

Each examination exercise describes the general evaluation criteria that the Professional Development Committee has determined to be important by the majority of training programs. These suggested criteria in the second column on each form are simply suggestions for commentary, not required commentary from the jury. The jury will determine the score (1-5) for each element within each examination exercise. Please refer to examination forms for passing requirements. For the personal exams, the jury holds the right to offer a conditional pass with the expectation that the student retake a given portion of the exam at a later date.

However, for the pedagogy exams, the jury will score each individual section of the exam to determine whether or not the student passes the exam. Each of the five sections of the pedagogy exam must receive a passing score to pass the entire exam. Students will receive their completed evaluation forms after the exams are completed (the examination forms used by the jury are found here in the T2 document in the following chapter).

Credentials

Students should receive a copy of their evaluation forms, and training centers should keep a copy of this form for their records. A student must pass all required branches at each level to achieve a credential. At the end of every year, individual programs should report to the PDC a list of all individuals who have received DSA credentials. By receiving a credential, the student agrees to the conditions for each credential listed in section 3.1 of this document.
