The Teaching Choral Concepts Instructor’s Kit is a 600-page kit of tremendous value to those who teach the curriculum because it saves many, many hours of typing and visual aid preparation. Every handout is carefully typeset. Every visual aid is professionally prepared. The kit contains the entire range of teacher preparation materials, including unit teaching-schedule planning calendars and notebook checklists for those who are requiring their students to keep notebooks and grading them on their accuracy and completeness. The Teaching Choral Concepts Instructor’s Kit sheets found in the Student Learning Guide booklets so the teacher can run them off for the lessons as needed if the Learning Guide booklets have not been ordered for each student. The Instructor’s Kit also contains a copy of the complete pre- and post-test, including the individual answer sheet and the scoring guide.

But the kit contains much more. The key concepts for each lesson have been typeset in large letters on 8¹/2″ x 11 sheets. These concepts can be mounted in a notebook and used as flip charts for lesson presentations to smaller groups. Or, photocopiers can be used to reproduce them as overhead transparencies for presentation to larger groups, enlarging or reducing them to fit available equipment. The typeset concepts also can be photocopied, then appropriately arranged as parts of bulletin board displays which support and teach the concepts being presented. The charts can be enlarged while photocopying to create posters of key items.

In total, the kit contains more than 600 sheets of carefully typeset materials which creative teachers can adapt to their specific needs by using the school’s photocopier and transparency-making materials. The kit will save literally hun­dreds of hours of preparation time for those who would attempt to prepare the separate items personally. It’s an extremely valuable tool, and can be ordered along with other Teaching Choral Concepts items.  {tcc 02}
