3 TOPICS Learning goals for all curricular areas are organized by overarching concepts called topics. Within those topics live a learning goal. All learning goals for the performing arts are guided by the 2014 National Music Standards and assessed on the provided reporting scales. REPORTING SCALES Evidence of student learning is assessed on a four-point scale, common throughout the district. Scales are designed to measure each learning topic. The generalized scale, with student-friendly language included, is below. SCALE ACADEMIC DESCRIPTOR SCORE 4 Exceeding Standard STUDENT-FRIENDLY DESCRIPTOR I have demonstrated deep understanding that goes beyond the learning goal 3 Meeting Standard I have met the learning goal 2 Developing Toward Standard 1 Insufficient Progress No evidence of student understanding in submitted work OR Missing student has not submitted evidence 0/M I have the foundational skills and knowledge for the learning goal and I am almost there The evidence I have submitted shows I have a long way to go to reach the learning goal I have not submitted evidence of learning for the learning goal *For more information on district assessment and grading practices, please refer to the Grading Practices website DEFINITIONS OF TOPICS Classroom learning goals NOTES RHYTHM SOUND ARTICULATION LITERACY ENGAGEMENT Students are able to play their instrument in tune and in multiple keys as appropriate to their proficiency level Students are able to recognize and accurately perform rhythms appropriate to their proficiency level Students are able to create demonstrate an appropriate sound on their instrument using techniques that are appropriate for their proficiency level Students describe and demonstrate different bowings and styles that are appropriate for their proficiency level Students identify, understand, and demonstrate different key signatures, time signatures, dynamics, tempos, and notions as appropriate to their proficiency level Students engage in the process of creating music both in the classroom and community as is appropriate to their proficiency level

4 DEFINITION OF PHASES A phase is the proficiency level of a student in any given topic. Students may be in different phases determinant on their ability to meet the tasks within each phase. Phase levels help the student track their progress in the standard and allow each student to have an individualized learning experience within the music classroom.
