Standard 7: The teacher of PK-12 music demonstrates professional responsibility and reflective practice.
This standard is important to allow for a teacher to create a proposer learning experience for their students. If the teacher is not fully aware of their professional responsibility they could be killing their students ability to be able to fully create music the way they need to. A teacher has more to offer a classroom then being able to teach a full lesson although this is very important.
In my time at Kansas State University I had the opportunity to shadow different teachers from elementary teachers to secondary teachers, during this time I was able to learn from them on how they structured their lessons and classrooms but also how they had to handled finances, planning of field trips, and organizational and operational aspects of the music program. I also got to see how much planning must go into a program and even a day of lesson planning. As a music teacher, we have to be looking past a sheet of music but recognizing what the music has to offer. Also at Kansas State University we took many classes that helped us develop our philosophy of music education and this helped me understand what I want in my classroom one day. The abilities I must have in order to have a functioning class. Also of what I aspect from my students inside of the class. I have also taken a class where I got to learn about how to take care of class outside of just teaching. Administration can take 85% of the job. A teacher spends most of their time lesson planning and organizing the classroom. I have also spent time researching the need for a multicultural classroom. I see the need of having a multicultural classroom and I am devoted to allowing my students be who they are. Many students spend time feeling they can not bring their culture into the classroom because of teachers not creating an environment where students feel safe to be who they are at home.
This will benefit my students because it takes a lot of work to run a choir properly. Students need a classroom that is functioning 100% to allow for efficient learning. I will take the financial management seriously and making sure I budget for new music and events outside of the school for the students. I will be organized, allowing for the students to understand how the program functions and are able to feel there is structure in the program. I will allow for my students to have multicultural classroom, by allowing for different cultures of my students to be allowed in the classroom and to flow. I will allow my students to have access to the materials they will need such as music or if we need technology finding access to computers or iPads for the students. I will create learning experiences for the students with the knowledge I have learning and do that at a professional level.
It is important for students to feel like they are able to learn in a classroom that is organized and managed. I will be treating my students professionally and using responsibility in my classroom. The students deserve more than just a good lesson but a great atmosphere through out the year.

This is a budget sheet that I created in my Music 512, this is a budget showing that I was able to create a five year plan as well as being up to split up where the money would be going through out the year. This was a good project to realize how important it is to have a financial plan as well as to determine where different money comes from and how it can be used. It was also able to show how much planning needs to go into this process because you don’t want to have money left over.

This Artifact is a handbook that I created. A handbook is necessary in the classroom to help students know what they need to learn and how to come along side them so that they are able to be able to fully function in the classroom at a full capacity. A handbook allows a student to know what is expected of them as well as the teacher can communicate what they are expecting from the student. It was also helpful to create this because it helped me discover exactly what I would want Form my students as well as really thinking through what I think a classroom should look like.
