2 ntent of the odel ornerstone ssessments TT odel ornerstone ssessments (s) in music are tasks that provide formative and summative means to measure student achievement of performance standards in the ational ore usic tandards. ach focuses primarily on one rtistic rocess (i.e., reating, erforming, or esponding), and is designed as a series of curriculum-embedded assessment tasks, each of which measures students ability to carry out one or more process components. Because these s are still in development, for this pilot it is important for music teachers to follow all written guidelines so researchers can: evaluate and refine those guidelines; identify the extent to which the content and context of each assessment can be integrated into individual teachers curriculum; and ultimately compare achievement levels in the student work generated during piloting. lthough each is designed so that it can be administered within one instructional sequence or unit, teachers may choose to spread the component parts of one across multiple units or projects. tudent work produced by these s will be selected as benchmarks to illustrate the level of achievement envisioned in the ational ore usic tandards. ommon nchor #4: nduring nderstandings ssential Question(s) ommon nchor #5: nduring nderstanding ssential Question(s) ommon nchor #6: nduring nderstanding ssential Question(s) elect varied musical works to present based on interest, knowledge, technical skill, and context erformers interest in and knowledge of musical works, understanding of their own technical skill, and the context for a performance influence the selection of repertoire. nalyzing creators context and how they manipulate elements of music provides insight into their intent and informs performance. erformers make interpretive decisions based on their understanding of context and expressive intent. How do performers select repertoire? How does understanding the structure and context of musical works inform performance? How do performers interpret musical works? valuate and refine personal and ensemble performances, individually or in collaboration with others To express their musical ideas, musicians analyze, evaluate, and refine their performance over time through openness to new ideas, persistence, and the application of appropriate criteria. How do musicians improve the quality of their creative work? erform expressively, with appropriate interpretation and technical accuracy, and in a manner appropriate to the audience and context usicians judge performance based on criteria that vary across time, place, and cultures. The context and how a work is presented influences the audience response. When is a performance judged ready to present? How do context and the manner in which musical work is presented influence audience response? sing the document s are presented at key grades and each strand for each of the three artistic process. This document is available in a.pdf format with links for easy navigation within the document and to external links for.doc versions of worksheets. The next page provides the assessment description with links to a detailed description of the assessment. eneral description of the ssessment Task n this, students will demonstrate their ability to identify the purpose of three music pieces; and prepare, perform, and record one of these pieces using appropriate vocal technique, performance accuracy, and expression (interpretation). tudents will also self assess their own performances, evaluating starting pitch, singing voice, pitch, steady beat, and rhythm; and indentifying one area that needs improvement. This does not assess students ability to read and perform music using iconic or standard notation. or the pilot, categories and specific songs are provided, but for administration in your school beyond the pilot, you may use the assessment measure with your own curriculum stimated time for Teaching and ssessment This assessment is embedded in the instruction and require students to have experience in the given prerequisite skills. ach student will need three sessions to complete this assessment task. The administration of the assessment can be extended over multiple classes with the teacher deciding how many students will be assessed in each class. dditional time will be needed to administer the optional assessment strategy. n interactive table of contents can be found by opening the bookmarks. pdated eptember, 2016 ssessment verview eneral usic, rade erforming, age 2
