The music education faculties of the University of Florida School of Music and the University of Bremen will host a Symposium on Assessment in Music Education from March 8-11, 2011, on the campus of the University of Bremen in Bremen, Germany.  This symposium will focus on identifying and exploring the shared practices and foundations for assessment in music education across the world’s cultures and continents.. As we seek to define the culture of shared practice in music education assessment, this symposium will focus upon the following key questions:
 
  1. What are the purposes of assessment in music education across diverse educational systems?
  2. What strategies and techniques do practitioners use to assess student music learning in music classrooms across the world’s cultures and continents?
  3. Which large-scale assessments of student music learning are effective?
  4. In what ways does assessment improve music teaching and learning most effectively?
  5. What are the shared research priorities for assessment in music education?
