Welcome to the Westerly Music curriculum page! This draft version of the Core Arts Standards based curriculum will be posted for review, comment and critique.
The model cornerstone assessments are suggested assignments that integrate the core arts standards with concrete music skills. There are currently several different assessments being field tested across the country. There are assessments written for 2nd grade, 5th grade, 8th grade and all levels of emerging ensemble (novice through advanced) with an assessment for Create, perform and respond at each level.
Each set of materials includes worksheets, rubrics and self assessment forms, ready to use in your classroom. I implore any music teacher to read through one to get a feel for how the performance standards work. It will probably help you get a better feel for the document as a whole. I am currently using the foundation of grade 2 perform and grade 5 create as the basis for my SLO's. These documents have made the process fairly easy to set up the process and proceed with assessing student progress. Great stuff!
