Okay, I am trying to really put effort into this: What kind of logical/reasonable things do you all put down for your goals? I don't like putting anything contest related, because I think that seems lazy. Does anyone have a genuine, measurable goal that they use? I know the reality is it may not matter, but I just want to try.

I'm going to utilize Remind on a regular basis to communicate with parents and students. I learned the hard way this summer that hardly anyone, including parents, uses email any more. But they will look at and respond to text messages. For the "evidence of attainment" section, you can list the contact logs in Remind-- I'm sure you could print off all of that, if they wanted to have something to put in a file folder.
I'm not familiar with the Band app, but I'd guess you could use that in a similar fashion.

"evidence of attainment" is not something included in my districts TTESS Student Learning Objective.
Easy goals are staring you in the face in the TEKS. They are even phrased in "we will" or "the students will" styles that our objectives are asked to be in. For instance the middle school TEKS for 2: music literacy reads, "The student reads and writes music notation using an established system for rhythm and melody". Use that statement and think of a way to evaluate students within that statement. How would you test a kid to see if they can read or write music? (This doesn't mean compose with legitimacy, it literally means taking pencil to paper or Noteflight in any capacity). And more importantly, how can their ability to read or write be measured to track progress? English classes do this exclusively.
