Concert Curriculum Project Assessment Document

Formative Assessments

 Students will be informally assessed by receiving continuous feedback during rehearsals

on how to make immediate improvements on the pieces in question.

 Based on individual lesson plans, students may be assessed in multiple ways detailing

student progress through short writing exercises; will be kept in student portfolios for the

teacher’s convenience

 Student leadership will be asked to keep track of areas that need improvement within

their respective sections; these areas will be kept track of through BLT (band leadership

team) slips that will be turned into the teacher at the end of each rehearsal.

 Students will be responsible for completing practice forms that require parent signatures

Summative Assessments

 Scales associated with the pieces will be aligned with scales on “Development Card” –

playing tests will be scheduled individually to access scale mastery

 After the concert, students will be prompted to evaluate the performance: what went

well?, what went poorly?, what piece did you enjoy the most?, what piece prompted the

most growth from the ensemble?, etc.

 Students will choose from a list of traditional Irish tunes/compositions to research. In

their written work, students will discuss the history, meaning, and culture surrounding the

work. Students will then summarize their personal experience with the work; did they

like it?, how do they connect with it?, how would you explain this to a friend or family

member?, etc.

o Hopefully, space and time could be secured to have an afterschool showing of a

recording of the full Riverdance show.
