b. Strategies
Goal 1:
• Review method books and techniques for additional lesson and rehearsal strategies
• Attend rehearsals for concert band and choir (as I feel like these musical skills will carry
over) and observe/try out techniques seen in these rehearsals
• Ask other student teachers/teachers of music their favourite rehearsal/lesson techniques
Goal 2:
• Study method and text books on the subject (ex; Wong & Wong)
• Observe other teacher’s classrooms to learn from their management styles
• Study cumulative files, observe and combine lists of techniques that work for certain
students (tailor 1 lesson for the needs of 1 specific student, see how it affects the other
students, form of UDL)
Personal Goal:
• Effectively use prep periods during school hours to minimize school work done at home
• When preparing lesson plans and other school work, do so without distractions such as;
YouTube, Netflix and other people. This will allow for more efficient an effective work.
(Do listen to some instrumental music though, as it helps with your productivity).
• Set a timer for 8:30 every evening, to be sure you don’t get distracted and miss your
deadline.
c. Indicators of Progress
• Goal 1: Students learning at a faster pace and are more engaged in class. Students who
would generally struggle are feeling as if their needs are being met.
• Goal 2: Fewer incidents of undesired behaviour and disruptions. Classroom atmosphere
more focused and positive.
• Personal Goal: More energetic and engaging during school hours, feel well rested and
have experienced life (such as rehearsals, reading a book or knitting a hat) outside of
teaching band.
