Projects
Below are examples of work done during my undergraduate career to help prepare for when I have a teaching job.
BudgetThis project in my Choral Methods class gave students the task of creating a budget for a brand new choral music program for middle school (Grades 6-8). The goal of this project is to use funds to obtain the necessary items for making music on day one.
|
RepertoireThe repertoire project allowed me to find music that is appropriate for our ensemble (High School Intermediate Choir) and how to effectively program a 50 minute concert.
|
HandbookThe point of this project was to give the students of Choral Methods the opportunity to design and create a handbook for a choir program (I decided to use my Alma Mater for the title/logo). Some materials that were required were Mission Statements, Classroom expectations, grading, and a parent acknowledgement form.

Here I discussed how my teaching aligned with the West Virginia Teaching Standards and why they are important to the continuing success in education.
