South Holland School District 150 Early Elementary Music Department Curriculum
June 12th, 2015Prepared by: Julieanna Charron
Mission Statement
Introduction:
South Holland School District 150’s musical education program is an excellent program for learning musical literacy and content. In the coming years, we hope to continue our success as a high achieving school district in the south suburban area. By making the music education programs one of the best in the area, we will succeed in building successful students with a life-long love for music and the arts. Some of the areas in our curriculum will include teaching more technology based lessons, hands on approaches with classroom instruments, giving public performances, and incorporating more cross-curricular lesson planning. These goals will help all current and future students of Greenwood and McKinley Elementary Schools, and it is our goal to help make the music education program one of Illinois’ best.
Teacher Practice:
Students are very technology driven, and with the updates in technology and common core standards, lessons are becoming more hands on. By having “Smart Board” technology in the music classroom, students will be engaged with hands on lessons, games, and more approaches to musical learning. Teachers are also able to view virtual concerts, audio samples, and more by using “Teacher Tube,” “You tube” and many other websites. They will be able to share and analyze student data by using “Power School,” “Power Teacher Grade book,” and behavioral programs such as “Classroom Dojo”. These programs help build better relationships with students, parents and each other by having access to grades online at all times.
School Culture:
It is our vision to have students have the best musical education and support as possible. With all students, teachers, administration, and parents working together towards high achievement, the students will have the support they need to succeed. This will encourage students to do their best at all times in and outside of the classroom.
Students will have access to a well rounded musical education. The students at Greenwood and McKinley Elementary Schools will have access to classroom instruments, personal recorder and book series, and will have the knowledge to read and write music on a basic to intermediate level. By the end of 5th grade, students will be prepared to join a musical ensemble such as Band or Choir provided at the Junior High level.
Community:All performances will be public performances allowing students to engage audience
members and share in their musical progress. Students are welcome and encouraged to invites their family members and also members of the community. Teachers are encouraged to send invitations to school board members, and administration of South Holland School District 150. This is an opportunity to share and involve community members in the development of our musical education.
