Q3 coming up! #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:20 PM EST

Q3 Do you assess performance skills large group, small group, or individually? #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:20 PM EST

A3: short answer: yes #elmused

BraquetLiz Feb 7 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3: some of each depending on the skill, mostly in large group or small groups due to the sheer number of students vs. time #elmused

MrsLevenberg Feb 7 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3: I do a bit of each! #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:22 PM EST

agreed, depends on skill. steady beat: easy 1:1. much harder for them to maintain as a whole group (guess which I assess more 0:)) #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3 A little of all 3, I walk around when singing and playing. When I correct, I do it with small group as to not embarrass. #elmused

LJoEve Feb 7 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3: a combination of all 3. Large numbers can inhibit individual assessments. #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:26 PM EST

I make sure my Ss know if I am correcting their mistakes. But I establish that mistakes are how we learn... #elmused

Q4 When assessing individual performance, do you listen live or to a recording? #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:27 PM EST

Q4 coming up! #elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:27 PM EST

too many HSers not getting the hint when being addressed in a group led me to change my ways... #elmused

In reply to @desmusik

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:28 PM EST

A4: recordings make it a whole heckuva lot easier. But I do tend to fall behind with that. #elmused

LJoEve Feb 7 @ 9:28 PM EST

Q4: some live but recordings give me more time to process at another time. Use a voice recorder and walk around the room. #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:28 PM EST

a4, with seeing 630 or so kids every week, I would have too many recordings to listen to in a week. I go live only. #elmused

MrsLevenberg Feb 7 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: So far, live, but would like to try recording this year! #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:30 PM EST

a4.5, one of our band teachers in district does his weekly playing tests through Canvas. kids record themselves at home. #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:30 PM EST

someone asked if by recording over and over they were cheating. he said "no, that's called practicing" #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:31 PM EST

A4 I video the kids as a group and let them assess themselves, esp to prove we get better. I also do live the majority of the time.#elmused

JarvelaMused - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:32 PM EST

"Guys guys I just found a way to do cheat at the recording test...keep doing it over until you get it right!" #elmused

Q5 coming up! #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:37 PM EST

Q5 Do you use a rubric to assess performance skills? Are you comfortable to share copy? #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:38 PM EST

A5: sort of? I assess a specific sub-standard and grade 0-4 points. always, mostly, sometimes, rarely, never. #elmused

MrsLevenberg Feb 7 @ 9:42 PM EST

A5: We have a scale built into our grade book and I try to use that with specific concepts I'm assessing in each class. #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:43 PM EST

Q6 coming up! #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:44 PM EST

Q6 Can you discuss/share a great assessment with manipulatives? What about one that is written? #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:45 PM EST

a6; music math worksheet (ex: whole note plus whole note equals 2, half note plus quarter rest plus two eighth notes equals 1, etc) #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:47 PM EST

a6.5: music math works great if you use music notes to teach add/subtract fractions (wait, you can teach math in a music class?) #elmused

MrsLevenberg Feb 7 @ 9:47 PM EST

A6: Just tried this worksheet with ants w notes in their bodies. Ss color tas red, ti-Tis yellow, etc. #elmused

MrsLevenberg Feb 7 @ 9:48 PM EST

A6.2-also using Clip-it's! #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:50 PM EST

Q7 coming up! #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:51 PM EST

Q7 Can you discuss/share a great digital assessment? #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:52 PM EST

a7: Plickers work if your kids don't tear up the cards. Lots of upfront work for you to put your quiz/test into their system #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:53 PM EST

a7.2, PLickers is more of an assessment tool than an actual assessment. Multiple choice, and the computer grades it for you. :) #elmused

MrsLevenberg Feb 7 @ 9:54 PM EST

A7: I really like https://t.co/oqOZlEjISZ for note ID. #elmused

MrsGagnonMusic Feb 7 @ 9:55 PM EST

Hi! Sorry I'm late! I teach K-5 general music and beginning band in the Boston area. #elmused

MrsGagnonMusic Feb 7 @ 9:56 PM EST

A7 I use Smart Music with my beginning band students, but mostly whole group. Haven't tried it with recorder yet. #elmused

desmusik - Moderator Feb 7 @ 9:58 PM EST

Thanks for joining #elmused chat tonight! We hope to see you next week to discuss Sequencing/ Planning from Year to Year!

MrsGagnonMusic Feb 7 @ 9:58 PM EST

A7 2 I see my kids once a week, so individual Smart Music is tricky. #elmused

JoelWestman1 Feb 7 @ 9:59 PM EST

does that work well if you aren't 1:1 technology? #elmused
