How are students graded in band?
How are students graded in band?
Band students will receive a 10 point daily grade based on the following factors:
Being prepared - ready to learn with instrument, music, pencil
Rehearsal Skills - a lot of time will be spent teaching and explaining what a band student does during a rehearsal. The main factors are fully participating in the class, and not disrupting the educational process. A more detailed rehearsal skills rubric can be found HERE.
Below is the Friday Rotation for Band/PE.
For example, it says September 13 - T/Th. That means that students attend the class they have on Tuesdsay and Thursday. If they have Band on Tuesday/Thursday they would go to band on September 13. If they have PE on Tuesday/Thursday they would go to PE on September 13.
