MENC: The National Association for Music Education
We need to develop deeper insight into the role of music in general education, focusing on what is distinctive about music and on its complementary relationship to other subjects. We need electives as broad and diverse as the interests and enthu- siasms of our students.
Needs Regarding Assessment We need assessment techniques and strategies that are suited to the domain of music in all its complexity and diversity. We need to focus our energies on the development of multiple assessment strategies that reflect the dimensions of students' musical growth and draw upon a broad range of instructional methodologies and techniques. We need assessment criteria that go beyond attendance, effort, and attitude. We need formative assessments of students' learning-including portfolios and other techniques, and we need program evaluations based on the Opportunity to Learn Standards.
Needs Regarding Advocacy We need to arrive at ways to transmit a uniform message to decision makers and to the public. We need strong alliances with those who share or understand the value of music study and are willing to join with us in advocating for strong, vibrant music programs. We need to make advocacy efforts that clarify and celebrate the enhanced opportunities to learn that we are striving to make available.
Toward the Future We will build on our first hundred years of success with a second century of leadership and service. Our musical culture, our students, and our society deserve no less.
