DESCRIPTION:Assessment policy\, whether explicitly or implicitly expressed
 \, is defined for this chapter as any set of principles or guidelines that
  are constructed for the purpose of bringing consistency and fairness to a
  course of action involving measurement\, evaluation\, or growth related t
 o any dimension of an individual’s learning. Assessment policies are inf
 luenced by time and place and often are shaped by powerful policy framewor
 ks\, i.e.\, the political environments\, in which policy is conceived. The
  purpose of this chapter is to examine several issues (the status of music
  as a basic/core/well-rounded subject and the jurisdiction for the teacher
  certification process) and trends that impact these issues (the decreasin
 g federal government involvement in education\; the extending of education
 al agendas across boundary lines\; and the growing power of arts advocacy 
 groups) that emerge at the intersection of assessment policy and music edu
 cation from a North American (delimited to Canadian\, Mexican and U.S.) pe
 rspective.\n\n*Dr. Glenn E. Nierman* (BM\, Washburn\; MM\, Cincinnati\; DM
