Tennessee Musician - Vol. 67 No. 2

PERSPECTIVES
I’d like to take a moment to say thank
you for Johnathan Vest’s article “National
Core Standards: An Introduction.” It
seems like every time I turn around there
seems to be a new educational initiative
that we are all asked to embrace. Vest’s
article was easy to read and simple to understand.
I’m not sure how long the “new”
standards will be in place, but I’m glad to
see the Tennessee Musician keeping us all
informed.
— Rhonda Meade
It was exciting to receive my issue of
the Tennessee Musician in the mail, only
to find that I could not read a single page
of it. The print was too small and the text
was very difficult to read. Please fix this
immediately. I have enjoyed reading the
Tennessee Musician for many years and I
want to continue to enjoy reading it.
— Teresa Schill
I thought the Catalano and McWhirter
article was quite eye opening about teacher
assessment. Don’t think that I didn’t
make a copy and place it in the office mail
boxes of my principals. It seems too often
that we try our hardest to create lessons
for our evaluations, only to fall short based
on a principal’s observation of content
mastery.
— Jean Anne Montgomery
