Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

All students in grades 3-5 will acquire knowledge of Indonesian culture and music. All students will be evaluated on their quantitative cultural and musical knowledge, in relation to western music, via formative and summative standards-based assessments. 2: All students in grades 3-5, including those with limited formal music backgrounds, will learn basic Gamelan skills. All students will be formatively evaluated on Gamelan skills, via feedback rubric, and student groups will perform concerts with core performers at each building.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Master Gamelan Instructor, Joko Sutrisno, taught students grades 3-5 about Indonesian culture and music at six schools in the Mounds View District. Students were evaluated through daily observation and video recordings. Grading was connected to the State Music Standards. Furthermore, a gamelan survey created by Joko Sutrisno provided an additional summative assessment. 2: Joko Sutrisno's process provides structured learning for grades 3-5 students of varying ability and music backgrounds to acquire basic Gamelan skills. Fifth grade students performed successful concerts at each of the six elementary schools in the Mounds View School District. These performances were attended by families, students and teachers.
