Book excerpt: Symphonic Engagement is a longitudinal study spanning six years, investigating the reasons and benefits for, and the impact on twelve urban public school students who decided to use their free time to participate and be engaged in extra-curricular activities in string orchestras. Literature and research inform us that the arts can play a significant role in the curriculum, inside and outside school, and this study discusses: the connection of the music curriculum to students' future lives after secondary school graduation; the place of music education in the curriculum; music in our society; music and the brain; the effect of after-school programs on student engagement; and the pedagogy of arts education. Case study is the qualitative methodology used in this research. Data comes from interviews, field notes, and questionnaires that explore and interrogate the issues surrounding music education. Twelve young participants, from different gender, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, were interviewed about their lived experiences and involvement with string orchestras, and on the ways in which these experiences have affected them as students and as members of society. The analysis of the data reveals connections between the author's arts experiences in the public school system, and those of the twelve students interviewed. The teacher-student relationship, equity, family influence, and technology are discussed as factors that can strengthen programs for youth, by deepening engagement in school experiences. This study explores why some teachers and students choose to participate or become engaged in extra-curricular activities and examines the impact on educational communities, on the future direction of string education, and on the relationship of the teaching/learning experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culturally Responsive Teaching in Music Education presents teaching methods that are responsive to how different culturally specific knowledge bases impact learning. It is a pedagogy that recognizes the importance of including students’ cultural references in all aspects of learning. Designed to be a supplementary resource for teachers of undergraduate and graduate music education courses, the book provides examples in the context of music education, with theories presented in Section I and a review of teaching applications in Section II. Culturally Responsive Teaching in Music Education is an effort to answer the question: How can I teach music to my students in a way that is culturally responsive? This book serves several purposes, by: • Offering theoretical/philosophical frameworks of social justice • Providing practical examples of transferring theory into practice in music education • Illustrating culturally responsive pedagogy within the classroom • Demonstrating the connection of culturally responsive teaching to the school and larger community

This book was released on 1987 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Test, measurement, and evaluation data are not viewed as a panacea for music education, but there is little question that the use of valid and reliable data from such can provide music teachers, administrators, counselors, and therapists with both broader and stronger bases for decision making relevant to music instruction and learning. Judicious use of these data ultimately will facilitate instructional improvement, increase students' learning, and foster students' positive affective/aesthetic experiences through music.

Book excerpt: Over the last 30 years, school choice policies have weakened the link between home residence and school assignment by allowing students to attend schools other than their neighborhood school. In theory, school choice policies can raise student achievement by increasing access to effective schools and by creating competitive pressure for schools to improve their academic quality. However, geographic factors may act as barriers to participating in school choice policies and constrain access to effective schools. To date, little attention has been paid to how geography shapes participation in and effectiveness of school choice policies.In this dissertation, comprised of three papers, I provide some of the first evidence concerning the roles of distance, residential mobility, school district boundaries, and access to transportation in participation in formal school choice programs and access to effective schools. Also, I estimate the impacts of school transportation—a policy that can mitigate the negative effects of these geographic factors on student outcomes. I examine these relationships in Michigan where students have been able to participate in inter-district and charter school choice for over 25 years. I use student-level enrollment, achievement, and address records for Michigan public school students over seven years to describe geographic inequities in participation in choice use and access to effective schools as well as to estimate the effects of the school bus on student attendance and achievement.In my first paper, I estimate a set of hazard models to determine the relationships between residential mobility, commute time to school, and exit from school choice programs. I find that the majority of exits from school choice programs correspond to a residential move. Furthermore, the probability that a student exits charter school and inter-district choice programs increases as the time spent commuting to school past their assigned school increases. These findings establish that participation in school choice policies can be determined by where schools are located in relation to students' residences.Even where school choice participation is widespread, geographic factors may still constrain access to effective schools. In my second paper, I investigate whether students living in Detroit attend the highest quality schools in their choice sets, as determined by levels of and contributions to achievement, using a set of discrete choice models. I find that students are more likely to attend the higher quality schools in their choice sets when their choice sets are restricted to schools located within Detroit, implying that access to effective schools is constrained by geographic factors.In addition to influencing access to effective schools, geographic factors can also affect student outcomes. In my final paper, I exploit the walking distance cutoffs that determine transportation eligibility to provide some of the first causal evidence of the effects of school transportation on student attendance and achievement using a regression discontinuity design. I find that transportation eligibility increases attendance rates and decreases the probability of being chronically absent especially for disadvantaged students. However, my results provide no evidence that school transportation affects achievement.Taken together, the findings of this dissertation provide substantial evidence that where students live in relation to where they go to school affects their educational opportunities and outcomes. I also show that public policy has the potential to mitigate the negative effects of these relationships.
