SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER I ON THESE STANDARDS
1. Review Learning Target 2. Review success criteria - give examples Strategies may include: • Practice steady beat as a class with a recording. (ex. • One student at a time demonstrates steady beat using body percussion for four measures while class sings along.· Students will move around room matching the steady beat the teacher is playing on the drum. • Students may play beat on a percussion instrument).
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER II ON THESE STANDARDS
Tier two instruction to be used to impact the learning goal of steady beat are individualized games that provide opportunities for students to show individual growth with the goal, and songs demonstrate the beat that directly tie to the goal that can be sung anywhere, not just in the music classroom. I know these strategies were effective because students were observed showing the skill, assessment scores from individualized games, and observable assessments from class time.· Observable formative and summative assessments from class time.
SUPPORTING STUDENTS AT TIER III ON THESE STANDARDS
Tier three strategies will be provided for all students as extra support by the music teacher. Due to time constraints and focus on improving reading, writing and math scores, there is no additional time to meet individually with students outside of their already scheduled music instruction time. All students are given class time with a specialist with extensive knowledge in music and all are monitored for individual growth based off of their starting base of zero. Strategies will be repeated often as needed, and multiple modality activities will be used to support all learning styles for all tier level students.
