Book Description
The purposes of this study were to: (a) identify teacher attributes, student learning objectives and program outcomes that high school principals and high school band directors believe to be indicators of effective teaching; (b) compare beliefs of band directors to beliefs of principals on each indicator of effective teaching; and (c) to compare beliefs of respondents on each indicator of effective teaching based on the respondents' school settings (i.e., rural, urban and suburban). Using survey methodology, a random stratified sample of Ohio principals (n = 340) and band directors (n = 340) were asked to complete a 73-item Band Director Evaluation Questionnaire. Overall survey response rate was 68.7% (N = 467). Findings indicated that principals and band directors believed that 41% of band director evaluation should be based on individual student achievement, 36% on teacher attributes and 23% on program outcomes. Both band directors and principals believed that effective communication, high expectations, student achievement on music reading, and student achievement on performing music with appropriate style are indicators of director effectiveness. Overall, principals had a more positive view of survey items as indicators of band director effectiveness. Band directors did not believe adjudicated events were appropriate indicators of effectiveness. School setting did not impact the beliefs of respondents.

Book Description
ABSTRACT: Measurement and assessment are becoming increasingly important to all music educators. The purpose of this study was to investigate the following questions: 1) in what specific ways are current high school band directors assessing students in their ensemble classes; 2) what are high school band directors' attitudes toward the assessment process; and 3) how can the results of this research contribute to the development of a student assessment model for bands? The subjects for this study were 454 high school band directors from across the United States. Results show that the main purpose of student assessment for high school band directors centered on providing their students and themselves with feedback concerning the instructional process in the classroom. Directors reported that performance skills were the most important criteria to assess in their students and the main influences of the assessment methods they use are their personal philosophy of assessment and available class time. Directors reported the best source of preparation for assessing their students came from their colleagues and that they are interested in finding new ways to assess their students. Directors suggest that an effective assessment model for band would be weighted: rehearsal attendance and contribution 34.95%; performance attendance and contribution 34.70%; and individual testing and evaluation 30.57%.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to assess the importance of music selection criteria for middle school band directors and preservice band directors. Middle school band directors and preservice band directors (N = 101) were surveyed to discover how important each group viewed music selection criteria. Participation was limited to middle school directors whose ensembles performed grade II and III band repertoire and preservice band directors currently enrolled in music education programs. Subgroups were formed within the band directors and preservice band to determine whether changes occurred between each group. These groupings allowed the researcher to assess the differences in some areas between the importance of selection criteria for middle school band directors and preservice band directors. A total of six groups were used for comparison to determine whether significant differences existed between the importance of selection criteria for middle school band directors and preservice band directors.
