By employing the hundreds of newsletters and bulletins received in the Research and Information Services Department for Legislative Review, a weekly to monthly newsletter coveringstate education activity, information on legislationwas extracted and filed for quick reference by subject and state. This procedure provided ECS staff with immediateaccess to up-to-date legislative information, which isnow made available much more promptly than in the past to state constituents who request it. Toward the end of 1973, when most state legislatures had ad- journed, state education agencies, legislative service agencies, teacher organizations and school board associationswere sent a ques- tionnaire along with a listing of the information collectedby ECS during the year from their respective states. They were asked to correct or supplement the advance collection and to add to itother items which were important to heir state's educationprogram. More than 4,600 items, triple last year's effort, were collect- ed in this manner. This research brief on CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS is the second of a series of four which list and index items by subject and state. With the aim of providing quick delivery of the information to si:ate readers, editing has been kept to a minimum -- most items appear in virtually the same form in which they were received. Because of rising printing costs and bud- get limitations, vetoed, failed and carryover legislation are not listed in this year's series. This kind of information is available, however, on request, from the ECS Research and Information Services Department. CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS has been organ- ized, essentially, to cover what goes on in the teaching-learning world -- in the classroom, education centers, field trips and the community; the brief includes governance and administration items related specifically to these categories. Other briefs are: GENERAL GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION; SCHOOLS, STUDENTS AND SERVICES; and SCHOOL FINANCE (which covers all finance items collected and in some cases, duplicates information in other briefs) . BOW TO USE THIS BOOK With the exception of the school finance area, no item appears more than once in this series, although many of them quite logically could be included in several categories. For location of all items dealing with a specific topic, a detailed index is provided in the back of each book. For example, if the reader is seeking informa- tion on the education of multiply handicapped children, he should first consult this book's subsection SPECIAL PROGRAMS The Exceptional 1 Child (see table of contents). Than he should turn to the index in the back of the book to check other page references to the key words: handicapped, multiply. Items in the other three briefs may contain these key words as well, although not as a major classification. Most items deal with elementary-secondary education; those related either wholly or partially to postsecondary education and community colleges are so labeled. HOW TO IDENTIFY ITEMS Each item in this book is identified in the left-hand column by state, bill and/or statute number (identical bills are listed together where practical) or a descriptor: ACTIVITY, PROJECT,STUDY. Standard post office abbreviations are used for states; a listing is on the inside back cover. While most state legislatares operate in a similar fashion, there are individual differences in the ways in which bills are labeled and handled. Common abbreviations used to identify bills; resolutions and constitutional amendments are explained below: Bill Identification: A Assembly (same as Rouse). Examples: AB: Assembly Bill; AR: Assembly Resolution. H House (same as Assembly). Examples: HB: House Bill; HR: House Pesolution. S - Senate. Examples: SB: Senate Bill; SR: Senate Resolution. Note: Some states use only a single letter to identify bills, i.e., A, II or S. L Legislative. Used in Nebraska only, which has a unicameral system. Examples: LB: Legisla ye Bill; LR: Legislative Resolution. LD Legal Document. A bill identification term used in Maine. F File. In some states, used instead of Bill. C Committee or Concurrent. Examples: HCSSB would mean House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill; SCR would mean Senate Concurrent Resolution. CA Constitutional Amendment. Once adopted, measure usually must be referred to voters for final approval. J Joint. Example: HJR: House Joint Resolution. Am Amended. S or Sub. Substitute. ii ECS Statute Identification: PA - Public Act. Sec.- Section. Ch. - Chapter. RSA Revised Statutes Annotated. HOW TO GET MORE INFORMATION The information in this book is not intended to be more than a guide for the reader to use in exploring his particular areas of in- terest. Most of the legislative items can be checked out with the appropriate state education agency or legislative service agency; ECS has copies of only a few of the bills listed. The bulk of the activi- ties, projects and studies contain within their descriptive texts the name and address of a resource person to contact for further informa- tion. State education and legislative service agencies are listed. in the appendix. HOW THE READER CAN HELP ECS Collecting, compiling and publishing this series of briefs on state education legislation and activity is a costly and time-consuming procedure for ECS staff. Is ECS dealing with the kind of information the reader needs and wants? Is it in usable form? Could the collec- tion, compilation and dissemination be improved? The reader's comments on the questionnaire form in the back of the book would be valuable contributions toward the imp_rovement of our information service. A WORD OF THANKS We hope the reader will find this book and its companion vol- umes both easy-to-use and informative. It is our most complete and comprehensive effort to date in our continuing and unique program of keeping state constituents informed quickly and accurately on current education activity. It is the first time we have been able to list reports from every state in the union; at least one organization in each state has provided answers for one or more books on our "Survey of the States" questionnaire which is reproduced in the appendix. In many states, two or more of the organizations surveyed were able to collaborate on their answers. It is this kind of cooperative effort, both with ECS requests for information and among agencies, which has enabled ECS to handle and disseminate the information in

  • The Value of Assessment for the Inclusive General Music Classroom
    THE VALUE OF ASSESSMENT FOR THE INCLUSIVE GENERAL MUSIC CLASSROOM Liberty University By Mary Elizabeth Quigley A MASTER’S THESIS PRESENTED IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSIC EDUCATION Liberty University July 3rd, 2020 THE VALUE OF ASSESSMENT FOR THE INCLUSIVE GENERAL MUSIC CLASSROOM By Mary Elizabeth Quigley A Master’s Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Music Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia July 3rd, 2020 Approved by: Dr. Kathryn L. Wert Dr. Andrew T. Phillips Abstract This project contains an analysis of the current inclusion and assessment practices of the middle school (7th and 8th grade) general music classroom. There are many studies concerning inclusion of students with special needs and the importance of assessments in teaching music. However, there are very few studies that connect assessment techniques with inclusion, demonstrating that music teachers are teaching to each student’s ability. This study used the case study methodology in the qualitative approach with teacher interviews, surveys, and several classroom observations to analyze the data. The data was coded, and names of people and the school district were anonymized to protect the privacy of those involved. After the data was analyzed, the best strategies for assessment as well as how to use those assessments were provided. The purpose of this project is to present findings on how methods of assessment can increase the success of all students in the inclusive general music classroom. Keywords: inclusion, differentiation practices, summative assessment, formative assessment, special needs, general music.

Committee Member ________________________________ James H. Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ________________________________ May 3, 2021 EFFECTS OF MUSIC EDUCATION 3 Abstract With the adoption of inclusion policies such as the Every Student Succeeds Act, it has become increasingly important for students to have equal access to a quality education in all subject areas. In the last five years, more students with special needs are becoming involved in music education programs within their schools. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the involvement of special needs students in music education programs may provide these students with cognitive and social benefits that affect conditions surrounding their disabilities. The results of various research studies show that special needs students involved in Music Education, whether in an ensemble or private instrument study, have experienced advantages due to their musical studies. Music Education can provide special needs students with increased confidence and advanced social and cognitive skills. EFFECTS OF MUSIC EDUCATION 4 The Social and Cognitive Effects of Music Education on Special Needs Students The United States Census Bureau has found that about 56.7 million people–19 percent of the population -- have a either a physical or mental disability, and that number is steadily increasing with time.1 There has been a corresponding increase of special needs students within the school systems of the United States.
