Keynote: One is Too Small a Number to Achieve Something GREAT!
From the custodian who sets up chairs for the Open House performance, to the engineer who turns on the lights in the football stadium, to the counselor who helps to finagle a student schedule in order for him to participate, to the parent who agrees to meet you at the venue with extra uniform pieces, to the principal who agrees to introduce your ensemble at the concert and everyone else in between, reaching out is the ONLY way to achieve something great. We must ALL work together as ONE TEAM and surround ourselves with those who CARE to help us achieve our goal—to guarantee success for EVERY student in the music program.

Presentation 3: “The Curriculum Alignment Project (CAP) for Choral Music: A Snapshot Look at the Successful, District-wide Program to Enhance Vocal Music in the Clark County School District”
The Secondary Choral Music Department of the Clark County School District (“CCSD” headquartered in Las Vegas, NV) has implemented a Curriculum Alignment Project (“CAP”) that provides choral educators with specific standards-based teaching strategies to help singers develop their vocal/choral skills along an assessment driven continuum. CCSD Choral Educators have found these method books to be an invaluable asset in planning the entire year in that the achievement targets are provided in a sequential, easy-to-use, month-by-month format. Many have also said that this was the missing link in their formal education.
A “CAP” document has been written for each level (EX: Middle School Beginning Chorus, High School Chamber Choir, etc.) and each of these user-friendly books provides teachers with a variety of methods to use to achieve given vocal objectives. The CCSD Secondary Fine Arts Supervisor and Choral Facilitator who developed this series will lead this session. Attendees will be provided access to complimentary, online copies of each of these books which teachers may choose to personalize for individual use.
