Discover a fresh perspective on assessing student progress in performance-based classrooms during this enlightening clinic session. Challenge the traditional grading approach and explore the idea of keeping statistics that actually mean something to your students. This session encourages music educators to embrace alternative assessment methods that focus on tracking individual growth and reporting it in a way that is visually creative and pedagogically inspiring. By allowing Google Sheets and Google Forms to collect and analyze the data for you, teachers can gain deeper insights into each student's musical journey, identify areas of improvement, and tailor instructional strategies accordingly. Through thought-provoking discussions and practical examples, I will demonstrate how statistics-based assessment promotes a more comprehensive understanding of students' musical abilities and fosters a supportive, growth-oriented learning environment. Leave this clinic session equipped with innovative tools and models to redefine assessment practices in your performance classroom.
