2 odel ornerstone ssessment (updated eptember, 2016) ntent of the odel ornerstone ssessments OO 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 Process (i.e., reating, Performing, 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 #1: nduring nderstandings ssential Question(s) ommon nchor #2: nduring nderstanding ssential Question(s) ommon nchor #3: nduring nderstanding enerate musical ideas for various purposes and contexts he creative ideas, concepts, and feelings that influence artists work emerge from a variety of sources.
