How to use this

Start with a country, a beginner programme or an element. Open a level to read its collected requirements. Expand programme stages to see the exercises inside.

Try double Axel or three turn in the search box. Results show available definitions and matching evidence; not every question can be answered from the collection.

Compare programmes with similar purposes, then inspect their stages and requirements. Similar content does not mean the tests have the same difficulty or that one qualification transfers to another country.

Follow source links to check the original context. Where saved documents are available, you can read them here. Documents keep their dates; translations may be working translations rather than official wording.

This is a growing collection, not every requirement from every country. Missing results can mean missing or untranslated evidence, not that a skill is absent from a country’s programme. Read the coverage notes before drawing conclusions.

This is a growing reference, not a complete collection of every test. Material may be partial, historical or a working translation. No match does not mean a country does not teach an element.

Skate Canada Virtual Assessments – Evaluator Reference Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 20 Strategies for a Successful Virtual Assessment Day The following explores common best practices to assist virtual evaluators in the preparation and delivery of a virtual assessment day. Expectations Virtual assessments are made possible by the amazing work of volunteers who include the evaluator, service technician, and the many club/skating school volunteers (i.e., videographer, assessment coordinator and coaches). Evaluators should not expect production-like quality. The video and audio quality for assessment days will vary from location to location due to the connection available and the skills/devices of the videographer. Flexibility, teamwork and strong communication are essential. Set-up Strategies Evaluators may use additional devices/resources to support them throughout the virtual assessment day. This may include: - An iPad or tablet along side the computer, - Multiple screens available to access both the platform, assessment sheets, and/or resource guides. - Resources organized in order of skate (e.g., Pairing printed copies of skills exercise patterns with the respective assessment sheets) - Hard copies of the assessment sheets (if preferred) o Notes can then be transferred into the digital versions or, o Scan sheets when completed for distribution. Delivery Strategies Welcome Environment Evaluators can use the following strategies to support creating a welcoming environment for all participants: - Smile often. Unless technology issues dictate otherwise, the camera will be on throughout the assessments. - Be mindful of the tone of voice, pacing and facial expressions when delivering feedback or instructions. - Ensure your voice is clear and consistent. - Use a slower pace to deliver feedback than in normal conversation. This encourages more comprehension during any technical glitches. Discipline Specific Strategies Element type assessments: Evaluators can discuss with the coaches on how they would prefer to go through the element assessments. This may include: - Pairing skaters of the same level together and having them alternate between each element. - Going through each assessment individually To save on time, the evaluator may ask the coach to call out each element to the skater rather than having the skater come back to the evaluator between each element.
