July: Music Standards and Assessment Series

The 2021-22 school year is still the year for implementation of the new Music standards and benchmarks. If your district has not yet started to look at the new standards, no-cost help is available through the virtual Music Standards and Assessment Series offered by Perpich Center for Arts Education and including 2018 Minnesota music standards, mapping the new K-12 standards, 3-D music assessment, and the music of Minnesota American Indian tribes and communities. Is curriculum money available in your district? This might be a great way to have support in your in-district curriculum revision process – attend a Perpich morning seminar and then work with colleagues in the afternoon. Learn more here.
