Assessment in elementary music is something that can be a bit tricky. Unlike a general classroom where formative assessments are done all day long in reading and math, a lot of what happens in elementary music is performance based. Therefore, the assessment waters can get a bit confusing and it’s overwhelming trying to figure out when and how to assess every student. Honestly, there’s not one size fits all approach.
A lot of what happens in an elementary music classroom from planning, to teaching, to assessing, is up to you as the teacher. So, in this episode, blog post, I’ll break down assessment in elementary music in an easy to understand way. My goal is to provide you with tips and strategies that you can in return, think about how you can make them work for your teaching situation.
