MENC, in 1996, began to develop a research agenda to promote increased participation of all
music educators engaging in research and to build upon past efforts to support the future of the
profession. The three major areas for study identified were as follows:
1. Music Teaching and Learning in a Time of Innovation and Reform: Curriculum,
Learning and Development, Assessment, and Teaching and Teacher Education
2. Music Education for New, Diverse, and Underserved Populations: Diversity and
Inclusion, and School and Community
3. Supporting and Surrounding Issues: History, Research and Dissemination, and Advocacy.
The goal of this assignment is aid you in finding solutions to current issues impacting your
classroom to initiate immediate change to improve your practice and deepen your understanding
of relevant knowledge on topics of interest.
INSTRUCTIONS

practice. Use 5–10 scholarly articles, books, dissertations, or other scholarly sources in addition
