Ideas and suggestions to get my 7th grade English students excited about...?We Answered:
A kindred soul...I too teach 7th graders. This will be my 16th year also.
Two topics that 7th graders love:
1. Themselves. "it's all about me!"
2. Social justice. fairness and equality.
quite complex creatures.
good luck!

How does performance based pay for teachers work?We Answered:
I think that it is based on the progress of students. But I personally don't think this would be fair to the Gifted teacher. How much more are they going to be able to learn? A lower student has more to grow.Juanita Said:
Resources for teaching Schenkerian analysis?We Answered:
For high school students? Wow, and yikes. I don't know of any Schenker textbooks that are aimed for anything less than upper-level undergraduate students. You might have some success with some of the typical harmony textbooks (Aldwell/Schachter, Laitz, Roig-Francoli) that are Schenkerian-based in their approach, but that do not rigorously teach the analytical techniques. (Laitz's "Complete Musician" comes close, but even that is aimed at pretty high-achieving undergraduate musicians. To give an example of the type of student this book is aimed at, Steve Laitz is a professor at Eastman, and they use his book there).For YOU, I'd recommend looking at Cadwallader/Gagne's excellent book "Analysis of Tonal Music: A Schenkerian Approach." But even that book is going to go over the heads of virtually all high school students. However, if you need to adopt a single textbook for the students to have, this is the one.
The Pankhurst site given by the previous answerer is generally quite good. You can certainly start there!
Maybe the best approach would be for you to read these books, and then give the students a digested version. If they can learn the basics of what notes to stem and what notes to slur, I think that's MORE than sufficient for a college-prep curriculum. Schenkerian theory is probably more useful for specialists than for high school students...
