The New National Standards for Music Educators
This article compares and contrasts the standards from 1994 to 2014 while simultaneously explaining aspects of today's standards. There are a couple short blurbs included by the authors that discuss important aspects of music education that contribute to the creation and overall importance of our standards.
Seeing some of the 1994 standards makes me wonder how those standards were perceived by educators at the time. Were they well liked or did they seem outdated even at the present time?
Would this article from the Music Educators Journal be an effective one to share with administration if asked why music is important in our schools?
How are standards formed? Who contributes and how long does it take to finalize?
