  Case: Guitar Class
Ms. Berezo teaches a guitar class for 130 minutes every other day. While this class is listed as a beginning course and as an elective taken by choice, all levels of student are enrolled. This includes advanced and expert level students, far beyond Ms. Berezo's ability and students who were forced to take the course as a "dumping ground" for administration. How can Ms. Berezo assess a class by the GASPC standards when some students are way above (HLL) and some don't even have a guitar to use... Should this be included in her TKES evaluation when she didn't even know she would be teaching it when she was hired here to assist with the band program?


Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
When she receives her TKES evaluation, she needs to add in the comments of the evaluation, why things are done the way they are in the classroom. She can still cover the standards with all students, allowing the HLL an opportunity to maybe compose some work instead of simply performing the standards. Allow them to go deeper with the tasks at hand.
