Book excerpt: Research has revealed important information about what goes into the creation of meaningful elementary report cards, but the report card standards listed for elementary music classes frequently focus on participation and behavior, rather than musical skills and performance. This project investigates the weaknesses of current elementary music report card practices, and explores the application of meaningful report card components to the field of elementary music education. Effective report cards reflect State and National Standards, communicating the skills uniquely learned in music to administrators, parents, and community members. The elementary music report card system created for this project for Allendale Public Schools includes a standards-based matrix for kindergarten through third grade music report cards, with a clear scope and sequence of musical skills from one grade level to the next. Additionally, it works to invest parents in the assessment process via entrance and exit surveys gauging parent perception of music reort cards, as well as an informative parent letter.
