Choir Rehearsal Techniques & Participation Reflection // Instructions: Rate the quality of your rehearsal behavior and techniques in the following categories on the scale below. At the bottom, add it all up and write your total on the line. Reflect and be honest with yourself. You will get a grade for your evaluation as well as the teacher’s evaluation. //
 * My focus for the past 3 weeks of class has been on practical methods of assessing students in the choir classroom. Here are some materials I have either created with my friend Krissy, along with other things we have found helpful. **

[|This] is a helpful website that allows educators to create their own rubrics for free.

=Rubrics are incredibly important because they clearly define what educators expect of their students. Therefore, creating the rubrics takes a lot of time to develop if they are going to be an accurate grading tool. Hopefully you will find this a useful tool to modify for your particular circumstances. This rubric is to allow for self-reflection regarding rehearsal technique. = = = =Here is a link to a presentation about assessment in the choral classroom. Prezi is a great tool to consider - also free! = [|Assessment without Sacrifice]
