On Friday, Joe Manfredo will be the moderator for two panel discussions on Music Teacher Evaluation. Presently, we have scheduled a morning session and an afternoon session hoping to provide ample opportunity for interested educators. Dr. Manfredo is the chair of the IMEA committee on Music Teacher Evaluation, and is hoping to have a representative from the ISBE committee (PEAC) on teacher evaluation on these panel discussions.
Dr. Rich Cangro from Western Illinois University is also presenting on Friday. His topic is entitled; Let them talk in your rehearsal! Addressing all 4Cs of 21st
century
skills. Amy Lewis will lead a session for novice music educators entitled, Life After Graduation! Experiences that Can Only be Learned After You Graduate.

Saturday morning is a busy time for our ICMEA chapters with a session on student teaching and the annual business meeting.

We are very fortunate this year to have as our guest presenter Dr. Beth Peterson, Associate Professor of Music from Ithaca College. Beth will be the keynote speaker at the ICMEA meeting at 9:30 am on Saturday.
Dr. Peterson will present a second session on Saturday entitled Te Music Teacher’s First Year: Tales of Challenge, Joy and Triumph. Beth has interviewed scores of first year music educators and compiled their stories into a wonderful textbook (of the same name as her session) recently published by Meredith Music Publications. We encourage everyone to attend this special session.
Dr. David Snyder of Illinois State University will lead the final session of the conference. His session is entitled Curriculum Writing Made Easy.
MTE Luncheon Meeting and Session Presiders
All music education faculty from two and four year institutions are invited to attend the MTE luncheon meeting on Friday from 12:30–1:45 pm. We will be returning to the PM 501 room located in the Pere Marquette Hotel dining area. Please encourage your colleagues to attend.
If you are interested in presiding at a session, email me (
jmanfre@ilstu.edu) as soon as possible. We have a large number
of sessions and will need many people to help at these sessions.
IMEA Music Teacher Evaluation Committee
Te Illinois State Board of Education contacted Darcy Nendza and me in late August with an offer to partner with their Performance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC) in formulating an assessment system for music educators. Since that time a committee comprised of music educators in all areas of music education, grade levels, and regions of Illinois was formed and met. In addition, members of the committee met with the PEAC consulting team on teacher evaluation and attended the September and October PEAC meetings. Vicki Phillips, an ISBE administrator who heads the PEAC committee, told me that “ . . . I would be shocked to know the number of times PEAC committee members have referenced IMEA.” She stressed how pleased they were that our organization has been pro-active in addressing teacher evaluation in Illinois.
Te IMEA committee on teacher evaluation will focus on developing guidelines for assessments that address individual student growth. In addition, it hopes to design model assessments for music educators. Also, the committee will be working on guidelines and recommended practice on how music educators can communicate with administrative evaluators within the assessment of observation of practice using the Danielson model. Finally, we hope to establish a link on the IMEA website to communicate important information, as well as being a resource, on teacher evaluation.
