Using Technology to Complete the CBPA's

Washington state music teachers are required by law to implement Classroom Based Performance Assessments (CBPA’s) to all 5, 8, and 10^th grade music students beginning in January 2008. The focus of this course is to learn various ways of using music technology to assist the teacher in achieving this assessment. Course will consist of: understanding the law as it currently exists, examination of Rubrics and EALRs, implementing current posted projects on the OSPI website using technology, and other ideas and projects for implementing the CBPA's using technology. Course will incorporate composing software and video technology. Plenty of time for you to develop a plan of action on how you can begin implementing this with your students and save tons of time by using technology.
