It seems that the most common form of assessment to be found on the Internet is a printable rubric. I haven't found any for my subject area that I like better than the ones which I have created myself. I have created rubrics for singing and playing and composition which are tailored to my needs, the district's needs, and the state standards. I have person all used a smart board with a software program for assessment, which gives me a good idea of the student's ability in certain areas, but is not time effective. I also have a recorder assessment software program which I like. It can be used for both formative and summative assessment. The students also really like it, because it is the computer which scores them and not me. They see it as more of a challenging game than an actually assessment, so I get more buy in from the more lackadaisical students with this.
I am in the process now of adding some iPads to my classroom and using these for individual assessment. For performance, I would like to use these tools with a microphone and have the students record themselves and give a self assessment. I would couple this with my own assessment. There are also some apps which will track progress. Right now I use an app for keeping track of student progress, which is also my grade book. I am looking forward to making some change to this in my classroom. I really want to put in a sound booth!
