From Knowing to Showing Performance-Based Curriculum for Music and the Visual Arts: From Knowing to Showing, (Hardcover)

<b><i><p>Beyond knowledge and content</p> </i></b><p>Too often, students are not able to demonstrate what they have learned--especially in music and art. This book provides a unique model for transforming the instructional focus from content centered to student centered, using performance-based standards for music and the visual arts. The authors offer a concise, easy-to-understand framework of curriculum, instruction, and assessment built upon performance-based learning actions. Teachers can use these practical classroom applications to customize relevant and meaningful instruction around critical musical and artistic concepts.</p> <p>Numerous real-life examples of performance-based fine arts are illustrated along with performance benchmarks for Grades 3, 5, 8, and 12. This framework can be used to guide the development of a music and visual arts curriculum throughout a family of schools, by an instructional team, or by individual teachers within one classroom.</p> <p>This book is divided into five major sections: </p> <ul> <li>Overview with question-and-answer format</li> <li>Standards and performance benchmarks for the visual arts</li> <li>Standards and performance benchmarks for music</li> <li>Guide to using technology to support performance benchmarks</li> <li>Guide to planning and analyzing performances</li></ul> <p>Performance design templates and reproducible masters provide practical tools to empower students to "show what they know."</p>
