Learning & REPORTING Tools

Google Classroom is our main learning management system (LMS) and a Google app. It is there that students can keep track of all listening and written assignments as well as all summative assessments and rubrics. Parents can have access upon request.

Google Docs is the platform that is used to share playing exam assessment rubrics with parents. It is easiest to share when parents have a Google account.

Noteflight is a web-based music notation software. Students can compose music, archive and share compositions, and work with teacher-established templates for various assignments.

IPS, or Interactive Practice Studio, is a downloadable program or app that comes with the purchase of the Traditions of Excellence Method Books (used for Concert and Symphonic Bands). The IPS login information is located in the back of the book (and requires a registration code). IPS has video lessons, adjustable accompaniments for each exercise, and practice tools that are very helpful to students.

JumpRope is our district-wide proficiency-based assessment and reporting tool. Through an online portal system, teachers create standards-based units while students and parents can view and monitor various assessments according to the larger learning targets. CVSD music classrooms all use common learning targets and they are all linked to our larger set of graduation standards which are transferable across the entire curricula.
