As part of our own Quality Assurance programme, the TBMH has developed a draft self-assessment tool for class-based curriculum music delivery which schools are welcome to trial, use, adapt, change etc. We would welcome feedback if this is of any use.
This quick questionnaire https://forms.gle/kXR4qyFdoXA6FnUP9 is a self-assessment tool for class music teachers. There is an accompanying Word document (HERE) that has the self-assessment matrix.
The 'Effectiveness Model' promotes a focus on the learners that we teach (i.e. What is it that a teacher does that has the greatest positive impact on our learners?’). The statements on teaching and learning allow you, as a class music practitioner to consider your current practice; what is working well and where there may be any potential areas for further development. Choose the 'best fit' statement. There is space below each question for you to give an explanation of your scoring and this may be particularly helpful if the 'best fit' is not quite accurate.
There are thirteen questions in total, separated into 5 sections:
A: INTENT
B: SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING
C: ASSESSMENT & FEEDBACK
D: USE OF RESOURCES
E: IMPACT
On submission, you will receive a copy of your completed form via email. Your answers will be used for the purpose of self-evaluation and as a basis for professional dialogue between you (the music practitioner) and your line-manager. At present, the G-form answers will come to the TBMH. If schools like this format, we are happy to share the online form so that each school adapt it and control the data.
