Abstract
Colleges and universities accept many different forms of assessment in limited areas. Music, art, drama, and athletics are areas where both the high school and university agree that the assessment is a culmination of the person's skills and everyone wants to see how these skills are applied. Skills in these disciplines in isolation are very insignificant. Scholarships are awarded to these disciplines based on demonstration of specific performance standards.
Improvement in these disciplines requires the teacher to dissect the performance, identify weaknesses, outline a plan to strengthen these weaknesses by using specific strategies, have the student perform or demonstrate the deficit skill in isolation, and then demonstrate it within the context of the total performance. This is the arena where the teacher/coach can assess if this skill is now internalized and another area for improvement can be determined. Assessments in these disciplines dictate the teaching strategy.
