Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. The quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases.They plan to collect qualitative data from program evaluations at the end of each program. These will be filled out by children when possible or their parents. A Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota staff member will also observe at least one program monthly and record anecdotal information regarding student engagement, student and parent comments, and teacher interactions.
