I’m in the process of revising and editing our Music Curriculum that was put together last year. Only one or two teachers from our district actually had any feedback concerning the curriculum last year. I’m hoping with the advent of new SGO’s and new teacher assessments that more people will offer their comments and suggestions.
This year’s revisions basically include more details in the resources and repertoire for elementary general music. I’ll also be creating a staff curriculum handbook that will cover the what students will know and do topics from the curriculum on a one-sheet format that will include references and online resources. Finally I’m trimming the fat on some of the strands and combining them at some grade levels.
Please take a look at the new revised curriculum and the first handbook one-page reference and please remember that you’re looking at documents that are in the process of being edited and are still under construction. Through the miracle of DropBox you can follow the updates and developments as they happen if you like.
Please submit your comments below or send me an email. I’d really like some feedback from my fellow teachers here in Bayonne and from teachers across the net – thanks!
