Model Cornerstone Assessments (MCAs), that were developed for the National Core Arts Standards in Music, are curriculum-embedded measures designed for music students to apply relevant knowledge and skills while demonstrating learning in the standards that define the artistic processes. They are meant to engage students in tasks authentic to a school’s curriculum and honor the intent of the Music Performance Standards. They are created as models to allow for usefulness in a variety of curricular contexts and demographics. The intent of each MCA is to provide research-based assessment tasks that is specifically focused on the expected learning for the performance standards with rubrics that has been tested for scoring consistency. Following substantial development and piloting in schools across the United States, this book provides a thorough background of the MCAs and the confidence measures administered to guide implementation by teachers, administrators, and the educational community.

Never before has NAfME created Model Cornerstone Assessments to align with the National Music Standards. These outstanding examples of standards-based lesson plans are a model to help music educators teach the Create, Perform, and Respond Artistic Processes. Included in this publication are rubrics for assessing to the standards. These lessons have been developed over time and tested with music teachers across the country in all types of teaching situations. Their feedback has resulted in the final products in this book. These exemplars are a wonderful insight into teaching and assessing to the standards. I highly recommend this book to guide instruction.
