A National Survey of Graduate Music Education Courses Focused on Assessment
Assessment literacy has become a focal point for professional development and graduate education. We surveyed faculty at NASM-accredited music schools. A graduate course on music assessment is offered at only 58% of institutions. Face-to-face instructional formats are most common, and classroom assessment skills germane to K-12 music teaching are emphasized. (SRME). Presenter: James R.

A longitudinal analysis of the music teacher workforce in the United States from 1987-2012.
We examined 25 years of data from the Schools and Staffing Survey to compare the demographics for music and arts educators with others from across the US. Subtle, yet profound changes suggest decades of educational reforms and societal changes are reflected in the teacher pool although music remained consistent throughout. (SRME). Presenter: Carl B.
