The development and growth of a quality music program, capable of preparing all students to demonstrate the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills in music, depend on a comprehensive process of evaluating program effectiveness. Music teachers, supervisors, coordinators, principals, and other campus and district administrators should participate in the process of program evaluation. Information from this process can help develop a plan for strengthening music programs.
