The candidate understands how to use multiple measures to monitor and assess individual student learning, engage learners in self-assessment, and use data to make decisions.
Students learn in multiple different ways, and assessment should also take place in different ways. Not all students take formal written exams well, but that does not mean they have not learned and retained information. In my classroom I plan to use a myriad of assessment measures including formal exams, playing tests, aural tests, verbal exams, and informal assessment through rehearsal and practice sessions. I will also work to guide my students through self-assessment. As musicians we self-assess on a daily basis, and in the musical field there is no better person to assess us than ourselves. Through these assessments, the data collected will be used to determine chair placement, music selection, ensemble placement, and how I as the teacher need to adjust my teaching styles and strategies to better help my students succeed.
Artifacts attached include a sample assessment portfolio and a music performance rubric.
