Standards Based Grading
This school year NBE is continuing our standards based grading system. Students in music class will be graded based on four standards: create, perform, respond, and participate.
These standards are drawn from the Core Music Standards (PreK to Grade 8 General Music) created by the National Association for Music Education. More information about the Core Music Standards can be found here: http://www.nafme.org/my-classroom/standards/
This year student learning will also correspond to the new Illinois Arts Learning Standards. For more information, click here.
Each of our four standards (create, perform, respond, participate) will be graded with the following leveling system:
4- Exceeds the Standard
3- Meets the Standard
2- Below Level of the Standard
1- Does not meet the Standard
Below you will find one example rubric that monitors student participation.
