Kindergarten does not take the Listening Assessments.
What Kind of Test is This?
Test Paper, Power Point, Listening, Grading
Their are 3 choices for each question.
KISD sends the Test & the Testing Power Point
Pictures of the "test choices" are on the power point & on the test paper.
The power point has an announcer who reads the names of the Listening Selections and the composers.
The power point, also, plays a 20-30 second portion of one of the Listening Selections - That's the "test question."
The students listen to the Test question." They have to decide what they heard; then circle their answer choice on their test paper.
We test in pencil. We check our own paper in crayon.
The students turn in their tests. The Music Teachers check & grade each test :)
