Assessing and Evaluation

As I am always thinking of this topic in education here are two presentations found through CEP 820.

Asking Bigger Questions About Assessment  (22 minutes) by Gardner Campbell  

Initiating and Sustaining Conversations: Assessment and Evaluation in the Age of Networked Learning (36 minutes) by Konrad Glogowski


Here are some articles I found as well.

I thought I’d share this website.  It’s a free site that you can use to create rubrics.  Works really well.

Goolsby, T. (September, 1999).  Assessment in Instrumental Music.  Music Educators Journal 86 (2) p. 31.

 This article outlines various assessment techniques that can be used in a performing arts ensemble.  I choose this as a starting point to get me thinking about assessing in a music classroom. 

Douthit, J.  Assessment Techniques and Procedures in Collegiate Class Piano.

 Another article about assessment in music classrooms.  This one is more specific in relation to a class piano course.  The article discusses various types of assessment.

A great article detailing different types of rubrics and how to develop them.  Also has a list of great resources.
