Program Update

In the Lake Washington School District (LWSD), we regularly assess our programs to ensure that all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities based on effective, research-supported instructional practices and to ensure their alignment to our policies. During the 2022-23 school year, we conducted a review of our elementary band and orchestra program.  The review committee included teachers, administrators, specialists and community members, who engaged in learning about effective music instruction and programs and analysis of data to evaluate the program and its alignment to our district goals and policies.  The results of this review identified several challenges and opportunities in the program and a workgroup of teachers was formed to draft a plan to ensure equitable access to high-quality learning in support of strong band, orchestra, and choir programs in our schools.
