It found that a slight majority of music educators were not familiar with the practice. Surprisingly, around 45% reported using standards-based grading in some form. After reviewing the self-identified practices, the authors determined that 40% of the participants were actually using standards-based grading. The survey teachers were a mix of General music, chorus, orchestra, band, and other types of music teachers. Interesting Lee, the most common reason teachers use the practice is due to a requirement.]]> 2022-07-18 01:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244960142 na786233 https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244963140 Mrs. Miracle describes her use of standards-based grading in an elementary school general music classroom. The blog post defines standards-based grading according to schoology website. It compares and contrasts the system with a typical grading system where there is one great assigned for a music class which encompasses everything they do. This teacher uses of four to represent that a student is meeting and of your expectations, a three means they are making progress, and a two and one are less than expected or little progress throughout the year. The teacher enjoys using this practice because it gives more information than the traditional grading system and parents are able to understand what is happening in music class. She created rubrics that are ready to use for elementary school general music classrooms that can be purchased.]]> 2022-07-18 01:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244963140 na786233 https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244970517 In this article, the authors are more focused on secondary and even university-level music theory classes. They show how the method functions in a large state university, a private music school, and a midsize and small private university. The classes combined theory and aural skills. While many of these topics are much more advanced than will be phased in my middle school classes, these topics will definitely be important in high school band, orchestra, choir, and music theory courses. While I don't expect to flip my classroom, it is encouraging to see music teachers approaching standards-based grading with such rigor.]]> 2022-07-18 01:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244970517 na786233 https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244975934 In this blog post, Becca shows several ways to enhance standards-based grading in a music classroom. For example, standards are shown clearly around the room and a word wall shows important vocabulary needed to master some of these Concepts. Anchor charts are used to align to the content you want students to remember. Aligning all of these concepts together create a cohesive environment for standard space learning. Keeping the standards at the front of the minds of teachers and students allows for a higher level of accountability. Unlike other test subjects, Becca needed to come up with additional standards that are more concrete for making appropriate rubrics.]]> 2022-07-18 01:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244975934 na786233 https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244982697 On this page, Jonathan Belsheim explain standards-based grading in his elementary music curriculum. The page includes rubrics for kindergarten through fifth grade that are all aligned to music standards standards. The rubrics include power standards which are listed in red and seem to be of utmost importance. Interestingly, there are no specific rubrics as to how to get a one, two, three, or a four in any of the standard areas. The rubrics nicely pace standards throughout each quarter of the school year and provide a cohesive curriculum that ensures students progress towards mastery over a six-year period. He also includes a one sheet explainer on the numbered grading system as opposed to the lettered grading system.]]> 2022-07-18 01:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/na786233/vvidfwkr55xkefxg/wish/2244982697
