Ms. Berezo teaches a guitar class for 130 minutes every other day. While this class is listed as a beginning course and as an elective taken by choice, all levels of student are enrolled. This includes advanced and expert level students, far beyond Ms. Berezo's ability and students who were forced to take the course as a "dumping ground" for administration. How can Ms. Berezo assess a class by the GASPC standards when some students are way above (HLL) and some don't even have a guitar to use... Should this be included in her TKES evaluation when she didn't even know she would be teaching it when she was hired here to assist with the band program?
This is what I was going to suggest. She teach to the standards because that is required of her and even though the students may be advance they might not have the content that goes with the actual playing. Also, I agree she should group them according to developmental levels with playing the guitar and allow them to intertwine with peer learning for the beginners.
