Curriculum Planning for General Music

CFA MU 465

Students apply the 3-V (vision, values, vertical planning) Approach to Curriculum Planning and the "constructivist model" of teaching and learning to development of general music curricula. Such curricula enable learners to become invested and personally engaged in their learning and to understand, value, apply, transfer, and retain what they learn. Higher order thinking, multiple intelligences, learning styles, and differentiated instruction are addressed. Students work individually or in cooperative groups to develop a three-year sequence of nine units for general music based on national and MA music standards as well as Common Core State Standards and 21st century skills and habits of mind. The backward planning paradigm from Understanding By Design and curriculum mapping help structure this work. Formative and summative authentic assessments of student achievement and understanding are integrated into all curriculum plans. 2 cr. Tuition: $1170
