The NYSSMA® Curriculum Committee recognizes the need for support in generating assessments appropriate for the music classroom. We recognize that many districts are focusing on music assessments in the process of evaluating music teachers as per NYSSMA recommendations. Districts are also requiring links to Common Core Curriculum Standards.
In an effort to assist in these tasks, we ask that you share your best practices with NYSSMA members. Please submit to this site curriculum@nyssma.org :
links to assessment materials you have posted
links to assessment materials you have accessed online
pdf files of assessments that you have created

This site is not designed to be definitive in terms of prescribed content or formatting of the assessments, but rather as a compilation for professional sharing.
