Overview

The bulk of K.S.’s portfolio focuses on the details of teaching and assessment. It contains detailed examples of assessment rubrics, followed by numerous detailed lesson plans for solo voice lessons as well as group recorder classes. These are all mapped out to an extraordinary degree of precision, providing insight into the specific workings of the educational process. The lesson plans and rubrics are also enhanced by reflections and journal entries that reveal a persona passionate about a “liberal education” that includes music as well as a liberal musical education, one that is broad based and well rounded.

Getting Started with the MLLI on Sunday

Greetings to all Music Learning Leadership Institute participants!

Many have asked, What exactly do we have to do to be prepared for the Institute?

My answer is that teams already engaged in the MIENC Laboratory School Network have already prepared digital portfolios, school reports, and MLL Seminar PowerPoint presentations. These resources will all be available throughout the conference in the MLL Sourcebook to aid in planning for next year’s MLL initiatives. For first timers, we ask that you open up to these resources as we venture through the resources and events throughout the week.

I do think that how we all get started on Sunday will be very important to the success of the Institute. So please read the following paragraphs carefully so we all begin on equal footing no matter what our previous engagement with the Consortium has been.
